He's climbed the Seven Summits, the highest mountains on the seven continents. And he's the author of three books: Seven Summits Solo, To Everest Via Antarctica, and Antonovs Over the Arctic: Flying to the North Pole in Russian Biplanes. As a mountain guide with Jagged Globe he led the support team for Sibusiso Vilane, the first black African to climb Mount Everest Day job: managing director for Big Fuel, a social-media marketing agency.

Claire Shotwell Egge 57, P 82 Don Egge ’55, M.A’59, P’82 The story goes like this: Don—"Eggs" his Logger football and basketball teammates used to call him—was a senior when he first saw Claire, a transfer student from WSU. While standing in the SUB lunch line one day he poked his roommate. "See that blonde? I am going to marry her," he said. At the time he knew nothing about her, not even her name. Six months later, on the last day of a music class they took together and just before finals prior to his graduation, he got up the gumption to ask her for a date. Claire did indeed meet her husband that day. Which proves history repeats itself; her mother and dad, Lillian and Don Shotwell, had met on the campus 25 years earlier. Both Don and Lil served on the Puget Sound board of trustees, and Shotwell Track is named in their honor. Claire and Don, we note, are one among 2,200 alumni couples.

Thabo tells us: "I was the second student from South Africa to be sponsored by the ASUPS during the time when Ronald Reagan championed constructive engagement with South Africa. Ever since, I have tried not to let down all those students who supported an unknown foreigner."

Rob Scotian ’01, M.A.T.’02 Rob's an English teacher at Charles Wright Academy in Tacoma. He has composed rap-song albums on the parts of speech and the Greek gods. Songs like "The Saga of Duncan Hines (adverbs)." (A sample of which you can hear in all its bass-thumping glory at https://sites.google.eom/a/tarriers.org/rob-scotlan—the- music/music.) He writes a terrific blog about books for the school: "The Pages in Between—Reviews and Recommendations by a Reading Fanatic."

Before that he worked his way up through the academic ranks at Washington State University.

About this photo, Doug told us: "The reason I stand out in white cloth is that the Buddhist nuns had just offered me khatas, or ritual scarves made of silk, as a thank-you and blessing for work I had done at the nunnery teaching English and computer skills. The sad part about this photo is that the day after it was taken, two of the nuns were beaten and arrested and are currently awaiting sentence for calling for the return of the Dalai Lama to Tibet." 12 arches autumn 2011 Bob Trimble ’37, Hon.’93, GP’99 Trimble Hall on campus is named for his father, k * •*, y.! - • Attended Puget Sound as a I l.llch scholar; nov business and planning analy feoeing. s|ie's of of nearly 500 alumni volunte fisting h£r alrn; mater: as Alumni Council Ex jve Committee regional chair and as an org ir of numerous . alumni events.

At age 73 says he's semiretired—"just working five days a week."

From there she transitioned to salmon-habitat restoration as a biologist with the South Puget Sound Salmon Enhancement Group, spending less time with fish and more time with engineers and contractors, trying to improve the physical features of rivers, streams, and shorelines. "My work is very hands-on," she tells us. "I see a restoration project move from an idea in principle, to a plan on paper, to a project on the ground." autumn 2011 arches 21 Deanna Watson Oppenheimer ’80; P’11,’14 Puget Sound legacy families abound, but for sustained and selfless service to alma mater we can't help mentioning Dee Dee, as she was known around here as an undergraduate, and her family. The list of reasons could go on for pages. To name a few: Deanna was the first woman and the first Puget Sound alum to lead the board of trustees and has volunteered with the college in every imaginable capacity for more than 30 years. ■ With her husband, John Oppenheimer '80, the magna cum laude graduate established endowed funds for scholarships and student activities. Deanna will step down from her job as vice chair of global retail banking in London for Barclays to return to the U.S. early next year. That should cut down on the 4,250-mile commute she's been making to attend board meetings, reunions, homecomings, and parents weekends for daughter Jeni and son James. David Watson ’92 We see him around campus so often doing his thing as president of the Puget Sound Alumni Association it's hard to believe he has time for a paying job.

During eight years as executive director of the 65-year-old Ojai Music Festival in California, Jeff Haydon '97 has brought the festival's budget into balance, has paid off past deficits of more than $250,000, has helped increase income by 70 percent, and has saved the festival's BRAVO! music-education program in the public schools. Perhaps Jeffs biggest achievement has been heading up the $4 million project to rebuild the festival's Libbey Bowl main stage. Jeff came to Ojai from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, where he helped raise more than $7 million in annual fund support. He previously was director of development for the Fort Wayne Philharmonic, managing producer for the Seattle Symphony Orchestra's inaugural Day of Music, and orchestra manager for the Aspen Music Festival and School. After Puget Sound, Jeff attended the Stanford Graduate School of Business Executive Program for Nonprofit Leaders.

A Babe Lehrer 42, at right, and bronze artist Marilyn Ma honey were at the Goddess of Commerce statue dedication in Tacoma on Aug. 31. The original Goddess of Commerce statue was constructed in 1885 and included symbols of area commerce of the day. It was placed on top of the then-new, three-story Cham ber of Commerce building at 12th and Pacific Ave. In 1950 the building came down and so did the statue. Babe organized and chaired the group that commissioned a remake of the bronze that now resides at 6th and St. Helens streets in Tacoma. The goddess' crane earrings represent toda/s port and shipping industries, and the fish on the goddess' back represents the industry's longtime connection to the region. Other symbols of industry, art, and ar chitecture also are depicted in the statue's design. ► Kyle Haugen '97 and Jordan Eade '15 toured England and France July 17-27 with the Tacoma Youth Chorus, performing at Canterbury, Chartres, and Notre-Dame cathedrals, and other historic churches.

Where does it end? The answer lies in where it begins—right here on our unforgettable campus. And the line gets longer every spring, when another 750 or so Logger alumni commence their journeys into the world. You populate every state in the union and dozens of countries. You work in every conceivable profession and make up new ones all the time. You are independent thinkers, intrepid innovators, and brave about your beliefs. You are different. But one thing unites you: an unquenchable aspiration to engage the world and make it better. You are one of a very particular kind. On October 29, Puget Sound announced a four-year, $125 million fundraising campaign. It is a campaign about you and what you do. And it is about the unwavering commitment to make a difference in the world that has inspired a long line of Puget Sound alumni for six generations. This is just the beginning. Ronald R.
