The Wandering Tattler

The first three photographs, taken on April 15, 2006 in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, show our friends David and Dana Orsman. Dave is a New Zealander who has spent much of the last decade living in the US. He's a climber, hiker, cyclist and runner who met Dana, a native of Connecticut, while both were rock climbing in Yosemite. David was a member of the College Relations staff at Keene State College, where, due to his job responsibilities and personal qualities, he became one of the most widely known and most well liked employees of our institution. He and Dana, who are currently celebrating their eighth anniversary, moved to New Zealand last November. Dave currently works for Land Transport, a Crown agency, while Dana has found employment as a school teacher and is trying to return to her former role as a yoga instructor. We hope to see them at Christmas time and are pleased to hear that they may eventually return to the States. Again, click on each image to view a larger version.






The next two photographs show Erica and her cousin Alex in Central Park. Alex is living and working in Princeton, NJ, where he'll commence graduate study in chemistry this fall. The pictures were taken this past weekend (June 24-25) by Jason, a NH native who works in Manhattan on web design for web-based clinical trial databases. Jason and Erica spend as much time together as they can, as evidenced by the last picture. Thanks for the images, Jason.
