Sarah Bott '80 sent me this wondrous article in today's N.Y. Times online about "The Streak", which started out as a bet between father and daughter and turned into so much more.

Mahalo, Sarah.

Reading and Writing about Hawaii -- in an ezine

Seabury alum Frances Ort writes for an ezine called 360boom-ezine

I enthusiastically recommmend her latest article about whales, which includes a highly personal encounter (do NOT try this at home).
