Driving in India’s Himalayas

October 31, 2011

No, I did not drive – I leave that strictly to the experts. And, no, this video is not speeded up in any way. (It is, however, silent – I removed mostly me talking about unrelated topics.) This was what the drive looked like on our way down (way, way down) to Woodstock School’s Hanson [...]

Learn India’s National Anthem

August 14, 2010

Woodstock School celebrates Indian Independence Day (August 15th) in a big way, starting with a flag raising and rousing choruses of the national anthem, Jana Gana Mana.

Woodstock School Memories: The Student Survival Kit

May 23, 2010

Worldwide Woodstock Day: Shadows

October 24, 2009

Today was Worldwide Woodstock Day, a celebration of the international boarding school in India that I and many other devoted alumni attended. Alumni groups gathered in all corners of the globe, which for me meant a Nepali/Indian restaurant in Arvada, CO. Saw one old friend I hadn’t seen since I graduated, another I have seen [...]

Woodstockers Afloat: Class of ’79 Reunion

July 28, 2009

^ James, Carol, Pankaj, Merti I just spent a fantastic weekend with a bunch of fellow Woodstockers (and their families) on houseboats on a lake in Tennessee. Before my own classmates raise a protest: I am not actually a member of the class of ’79 – I graduated in 1981. Like most Woodstockers, I am [...]
