strong and, on most days, it was a daily stop on
our itinerary. T. Komoda’s Bakery was second on
the list, and the original bakers continue to provide the most incredible long johns, cream puffs
and stick donuts imaginable. The winding drive
to Hana is better now...the scenery and view are
phenomenal and well worth the trip. We visited
local restaurants to locate the customary delicacies of saimin, teriyaki, and other island delights
that cannot be replicated by mainland chefs.
Cone sushi, mochi, musubi, Kitch’n Cook’d potato chips, Portuguese sausage, and macadamia
nut cream pie were staples in our condos.
The reunion itself was an evening replete with
delicious lu‘au food, island martinis, dancing,
and conversing with old and new friends. The
party continued the following day at Laurie
Knox ‘75 Loney’s and included more of the
same wonderful laughter and recollections.
On the final day, as we made our sad farewells,
we took home with us breathtaking photos,
magnificent memories, new-found connections,
and the firm inspiration to meet again on the
mainland in 2013.”
LaVelle Byers Allen is residing in Santiago,
Chile for six months. “I arrived in mid-July and
will stay until January,” says LaVelle. “This is the
first time that I have ever lived in a large city.
The city’s wealth of parks and plazas softens
the big-city aspect.” LaVelle currently splits
her time between teaching English to professional Chileans and
studying Spanish. “I
may even be learning Spanish!” says
LaVelle.
LaVelle (left) with
Chilean friend
Michelle Steuermann Daniels and Candy
Rutherford Hibner were happy to see each
other at the Seabury Reunion in June. They had
a great week laughing and reminiscing about
“school days.” Michelle lives in Ulupalakua where
she tends to her garden and coffee-bean business. Candy says it’s the best coffee she has ever
tasted. When Michelle isn’t busy with her garden
and coffee-bean business, she enjoys playing
the guitar, mandolin and jamming with friends.
Candy, who lives in Arizona, continues to teach
at a private school on a part-time basis. Candy
and her husband are “empty-nesters,” as both of
their children are employed and living on their
own. Candy says she never knew what quiet really sounded like until now.
The newest member to reconnect to the class of
1971 is Ginger Curtis Ruehling. She lives with
her husband and 16-year-old daughter in Three
Rivers, California. Ginger continues to work as a
school nurse and feels fortunate to reside near
beautiful Sequoia National Park.
Debbie Holden Tracey and Barb Howell Shephard held their own mini-reunion in Seattle this
summer. Debbie is looking forward to retiring after 30 years. Barb’s four children (three daughters
and a son) make her the ‘71 alum with the largest
family unit. They have also left the “nest,” so Barb
is able to enjoy extra time with her husband and
her father, who is 90 years old.
Pat (Patti) Hunt Passon moved from California
to Oregon six years ago and is enjoying the
great northwest. Pat owns and operates a busy
financial planning business, which has remained
challenging and rewarding. She and her partner
Charlotte live with their dogs and cats. They
enjoy a quiet life (all three daughters now live in
Oregon, so it is actually not so quiet).

Dana Butts-Nemeth is a retired dentist and
owner/CEO of her late husband’s medical weight
loss clinics in San Diego. His recent death was
both tragic and unexpected. Dana also manages
a six-acre ranch near the San Diego/Mexican
border. She has two wonderful Dobermans
and does agility training with one of her dogs.
Her other Doberman is 15-months old and just
earned her championship in an AKC competition. In addition to all this, Dana rides and competes with one of her horses on the equestrian
show jumping circuit.
Like Dana, Edie Jones Bikle loves her horse - a
beautiful Quarter Horse/Morgan filly. Most of her
time is devoted to tending to her animals, gardening and working on her business, Taro Patch Gifts.
News about other members of the class of
1971: Brian Jenkins, the sole male of the group,
continues to live on Maui with his wife. He has
a law practice and is considering growing some
coffee beans. At last sighting, we hear that
Siri Anderson lives on Molokai and works as
a school librarian, Carol Salisbury operates a
bed and breakfast on the Big Island, and Mary
Milnor lives on Oahu. We have not had any luck
in locating either Linda Kahlbaum or Leslie
Claytor True. If you know of their whereabouts,

Mahalo to Richard Cameron for sharing his
wonderful photograph of a West Maui pineapple field. Richard writes, “I spent three summers
driving a pineapple truck through these fields.
I especially like fields like these - just planted.
It puts me in mind of a Zen garden — one of
those Japanese rock gardens that’s raked every
day. Kind of serene.”

Candy. She recently flew to the “Big Apple” to
help her son Kai with his living arrangements
at Columbia University in Manhattan. Kai

Thanks to the Class of 1980,
this summer’s Seabury Reunion
in June was an extra special
visit for Julia Rivas ’85 Frey.
Julia shares, “My 7th grade
year at Seabury was my sister
Jennifer Elliot ’80 Callahan’s
senior year and, as the annoying kid sister, I had
the opportunity to know all of her friends! To see
a large group of them 30 years later was incredible, and I know Jen would have loved it.
I hosted a party (as Jen would have) at my
mother’s house in Spreckelsville the night prior
to the reunion. We ate some ono local food, took
tons of pictures, and told hilarious stories. Fred
and Maria Rawe were special guests and there
were more than a few double takes when they
arrived, but all dip slips were forgotten!
The Reunion on Saturday started with a memorial service for a few of the alumni who had died
recently, two of whom were from the Class of ‘80:
Ramon Handy and my sister Jennifer. Michael
Yamashita ‘76 was also remembered. Our tears
were mixed with laughter, as family and friends
spoke fondly about each person. We shared
positive memories about the teenage years,
Maui, and Seabury. It was a bittersweet moment,
recounting those who are no longer here, but
whose lives at Seabury we recall as being in
youth’s full bloom and promise.
As the sun set, the party got underway on the
lawn of Cooper House. Many happy faces from
the past were present, and, for me, my favorite
surprise was to see Shannon Theiss ’90 Jenkins
whom I hadn’t seen since I was a senior and she
was in the seventh grade. It warmed my heart
to give her a big hug and remember all of those
amazing Seabury days.
Emily Fielding is happy to
back on The Valley Isle. “I
moved back to Maui in 2008 to
take a position with The Nature
Conservancy’s Hawai`i marine
program,” says Emily. “It’s great to be home
from O`ahu – surfing and being close to friends
and family.” Daughter `Olelomoana is at UH Hilo
this fall to earn a teaching credential. Brother
Brennan ‘85 started Burleigh Brewing Company
in Australia with his wife and is enjoying life with
their two kids. Mom Ann is still on Maui, involved
in community activities and enjoying the ocean.
“It was awesome to see so many from the class of
‘80 (at reunion) this summer,” says Emily.

Holly Barto and fiancé Shaun Hansen are
planning a large October 2011 wedding at her
grandparent’s estate, Rosario Resort, in Washington State’s San Juan Islands. Holly met her future
husband after former American Idol contestant
Camile Velasco and Soo Lee (now known as
Kris Lee), persuaded her to move to Southern
California and become a certified makeup artist.
Holly has been running her parents’ companies on Maui and living in Lahaina, while her
parents sail around the world on their new
luxury catamaran. “Their plan is to keep going
around the world until their bodies no longer
allow it,” says Holly. “Along with working for
my parents’ businesses, I also work weddings
and photo shoots as a freelance makeup artist.”
Holly represents Chanel as a beauty advisor and
aspires to become a national representative for

“The Himalayas

I had to get used to. Avalanches were really
dangerous, and 17 people died right where I was
while I was there.”

says Chalan. “We are doing this with a number
of efforts mauka of the bay, within the bay’s
watershed. These efforts include installing
sediment-stopping fabric rolls and sediment
dams, controlling feral goats and pigs, and reestablishing native dry-land forest. Fun stuff. I have
a new side project as I have been approached to

Alumni who returned to their youth’s “home
away from home” for Reunion Weekend, reflected
upon their personal journeys and revisited their
formative experiences.
Seabury Hall means something – whether it is the
customary admiration of its verdant grounds, or
something more distinct – to each of its graduates. Reunion Weekend brings back graduates
t
Summer Reunion 2010 alumni attendees
who grew up together. Rekindling those relationships is at the core of the annual summer weekend. “It was a real treat to see those familiar faces
from yesterday and to see how we have matured
gracefully,” says Wee-J Paris ‘75. “We still had that
bond, which is pretty amazing when one considers the paths we have taken.”
Alumni Association President Rob Stoner ’80 was
thrilled with the turnout. “We welcomed back
over 150 alumni plus their guests from across
Hawaii and 17 other states. A special thanks to
our reunion committee members, who worked
tirelessly to encourage classmates to attend
Reunion Weekend, created a beautiful evening
on Saturday night, hosted classmates in their
homes, and made financial contributions, so
that we could enjoy great entertainment. Your
outreach effort was incredible, and we couldn’t
have done it without you.”
For Candy Rutherford ’71 Hibner it is her friends
that color her memories of Seabury Hall and
growing up on Maui. After a wonderful week
revisiting favorite Maui haunts with friends from
the classes of 1970 and 1971, Candy recalled, “As

new-found connections, and the firm inspiration
to meet again.”

Olena Horcajo recently started an MPA program
in Environmental Science and Policy at Columbia
University in New York and loves living in the
city. “Fortunately, there are a ton of lovely Seabury
grads here and so I get to see people when school
isn’t too crazy,” says Olena. Other people in the
city include Rebecca Serle (see her articles in
The Huffington Post) and Tiffany Chou ‘04. “All of
you should buy her amazing jewelry (I have a few
pieces that I wear daily),” says Olena. Azeo Fables
and Scott Murrish are also in New York. “I’m
fully enjoying school. Even though it’s incredibly
time-consuming I know I’m on the right track, and
hey, New York is definitely easier to live in than
Nicaragua! I hope everyone is well!”
Kawehi Wallace Kammerer currently works
as a full-time Certified Elementary Teacher at
Hau‘ula Elementary Grades K-1 in the Hawaiian Language Immersion Program or Ke Kula
Kaiapuni ‘o Hau‘ula. “I’m a first-year teacher so
I’m learning the ropes and striving to do my
very best,” says Kawehi. “It’s a lot of hard work
but very rewarding too.” Kawehi is also pursuing
a two-year program for an M.S. in Education Integrating Technology in the Classroom with
Walden University. Her husband James is a
Physical Education teacher at Kahuku High and
Intermediate School. In January, he will begin a
Masters Program in Adaptive Physical Education
at UH-Manoa. “Eventually, we hope to make our
way back to Maui, once we have earned tenure
and have both completed master’s programs,”
says Kawehi. “My son Mauikekamakupaianaha just celebrated his first birthday and his
older brother Ka‘uhane recently turned three.
Ka‘uhane attends preschool at the Punana Leo
‘o Ko‘olauloa.”
Ali Kean has been in San Francisco for almost
three years. “I am completing my master’s in
Early Childhood Education and Special Needs at

summer traveling in Europe and look forward to
an upcoming trip to the Dominican Republic. I
miss Maui, friends and family and hope to make
it back soon.”
Genafer Longhi just returned from living in
Sicily for the summer. “I was working as an au
pair and having one of the best experiences of
my life!” says Genafer. “Next, I plan on working as
a sales rep for Geisha Fabulous hair accessories
and Tiffany Chou ‘04 jewelry, which is a fun and
great job. I also plan on doing more traveling
and am thinking of maybe doing the au pair
thing again in New Zealand. Other than that everything is great living in Maui, and I’m enjoying
life! Good luck to everyone and keep enjoying
the adventure we call life!”
Justin O’Brien moved to Mountain View, California in early March to work at Google where
he specializes in process improvement/automation within Human Resources. “Corporate life at
Google is as good as it gets with free food, heated
toilet seats, and micro kitchens with all the free
snacks you could imagine,” says Justin. “There’s
also a playground on the floor above me and
cube mates frequently bring their dogs to work.
I often play ping pong once a week with Aaron
Schwab ‘02; he often loses. I live four miles from
work and every day I drive 35 MPH down Shoreline Blvd for only 12 minutes to get to work. One
day, I hope to have a mortgage, wife and 1.5 kids.”
Phillip Tongg graduated in 2008 from Point
Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, California. “I am still living over here,” says Phillip. “Currently, I am studying for the CPA exam. I hope to
move home in the near future.”
Glennel Warren is living on Oahu and working
as a financial advisor for one of the top financial
planning firms in Honolulu. “I got my MBA
in finance a couple years ago and have been
focusing on traveling and my career,” says Glennel.
“I frequently take surf trips around the world . . .
I just returned from Mexico this summer surfing
for like six weeks by myself. It was pretty amazing
and has tempted me to buy property down
there. Probably should have taken some Spanish
classes at Seabury when I had the chance. It’s
getting hard for me to sit still in Hawai‘i lately,
finally starting to get island fever and want to
take off somewhere. For now I will be here for at
least a couple of years. I live on the North Shore of
Oahu so if anyone wants a surf tour then hit me
up. Funny, I saw Kawehi (Wallace Kammerer)
dancing on a boat at the Polynesian Cultural
Center a few years ago.”
“I am in Boston starting my first semester at the
Berklee College of Music and having a great
