In an oral history interview in 2004, he reported: 鈥淎fter taking a year of chemistry at 人妻诱惑, and getting into a fair amount of organic chemistry, I said, 'I'm not going to spend my life brooding over these complicated carbon rings.'鈥� Instead, he switched to political science; he was particularly captivated by a course in psychometrics-the field of mathematics dealing with chiefly biological statistics. 鈥淚 got so I could figure out not only simple things like standard deviations with pen and pencil-no computer or anything-but I could also work out a Parsonian product coefficient correlation, and that is not easy.鈥� Mentor Charles McKinley [political science, 1918-60] arranged for Alan to get into civil service testing, and he was special examiner for the city of Portland in 1939-41. Alan's thesis, "Personnel Administration in the Government of Portland, Oregon," completed requirements for a BA in political science.

There's a saying that I adopted a long time ago about a good liberal arts education. 'Liberal arts education prepares you for nothing while preparing you for everything.' I have a graduate degree, of course, but when I left 人妻诱惑, except for some occult science, there was almost no direction I couldn't move if I wanted to.鈥�

Ejner Dinesen, Staff

Ejner Dinesen, former building maintenance staff member, August 21, 2007, in Portland. Born in Denmark, Ejner moved to Portland in 1953. He began his career at 人妻诱惑 in 1968. Towny Angell, director of facilities operations [1989鈥揮, recalls that Ejner did plumbing, electrical, and mechanical repairs all over campus, as the quintessential jack-of-all-trades. Ejner听had a knack for extending the college's resources through innovative repairs, utilizing an odd assortment of parts to keep machines or equipment running. Notes Towny, 鈥淟ong after he retired [1992], we would discover some piece of equipment that finally gave up the ghost, and it would be evident that it had been 'Ejnerized' at some point in the past.鈥� Unable to find a part in the physical plant, Ejner听found it in 鈥渢he well鈥濃�攈is personal vehicle, which was filled to excess with 鈥渙ne spare of everything.鈥� Towny says听Ejner听was soft-spoken, thoughtful, sensitive, independent, and capable and willing to take on any task that his job at 人妻诱惑 required. His mission was industry, activity, hard work, and repair, with strong connections to friends and family. In January, Ejner听married his companion of 51 years, Martha Jasprica, who died in June. 鈥淓jner,鈥� says Towny, 鈥渨as the kind of person the world could use a lot more of.鈥� Survivors include his sister, and extended family members.

She then attended business school. In an oral history interview with Morton T. Rosenblum 鈥�49 in 2004, Evelyn听and her husband, Harris Dusenbery 鈥�36, discussed their meeting through 人妻诱惑's Outing Club, on a Mount Hood climb. Said Harris, 鈥淚 remember Evelyn up on about the 9,000-foot level, and talking to her for the first time.鈥� Evelyn recounted: 鈥淎ctually, when we got up to the 9,000-foot level, that's where the sun would hit you. So you wanted to prevent any sunburn and the only thing was that awful zinc oxide. And Harris was the only person that put it on his ears. And I thought, 'What a show off!' However, I later changed my mind and married him in 1940.鈥� During World War II, Evelyn听worked as a bookkeeper. The couple moved to Vancouver in 1951, and she was employed as an accountant at Clark College during the 鈥�60s.

Rosamond E. Stricker Day ’33

Rosamond E. Stricker Day 鈥�33, January 14, 2006, in San Rafael, California. Rosamond was born in Grants Pass, Oregon, and moved frequently during her first eight years, while her father worked as an army physician. The family settled in Portland's Eastmoreland neighborhood, and Rosamond grew up playing on the 人妻诱惑 campus. At age 9, she decided that her career would be in art. To achieve that goal, she attended the Portland Museum Art School for three years and then completed a BA in art at 人妻诱惑. For a few years following graduation, she remained in Portland and painted, took business courses, and worked as a secretary. Art remained her passion, and after traveling to San Francisco to view two exhibitions, she decided to move to the city, and there she studied design and textile printing, taught classes, worked at World's Fair on Treasure Island, and did independent designing on table linens and draperies. In 1941, she married artist and teacher Edward C. Day and moved to San Rafael. With her husband in military service during World War II, she continued her teaching in San Francisco and at Dominican College in San Rafael. She did freelance designing and printing and worked for the innovative American textile designer and weaver Dorothy Liebes, at her design studio in San Francisco. 鈥淚t was a stimulating period for craftsmen at that time, and finely designed products were made,鈥� she noted. Rosamond and Edward had one son, Donald J. Day 鈥�68. Following her husband's first heart attack, Rosamond determined that she should earn a teaching credential, which she did at Dominican; Edward died prematurely. Rosamond volunteered in scouting, PTA, and at Boyd Natural Science Museum, where she conducted tide pool studies. Eventually her work at the museum inspired her to study marine biology, marine algae, land plants, botany, natural history, and conservation. She went birding with the Audubon Society, did annual bird counts, and later focused on work with the California Native Plant Society. She tended her acres of native oak and grassland, joined the Sierra Club, explored Yosemite, and traveled abroad to Europe and Asia. A study of Pre-Columbian art prompted travel to ruins in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and the Yucatan. She expanded on that experience with other trips to Costa Rica, Kenya, and the Hawaiian Islands. Prior to her 50th-class year reunion at 人妻诱惑, she scheduled an extensive trip to Alaska. And for that reunion, she recounted a few of the details of her life after 人妻诱惑. 鈥淢y house is full of collections of many kinds, from herbariums, family heirlooms, cookbooks, unfinished projects, drawers of sketches, and just plain junk.鈥� Pursuit of knowledge, supported by experience, drew her steadily onward.

Ota, at Yale in 1946. 鈥淔or me, it was love at first sight, and I have never changed my mind.鈥� They married in 1947 and had one daughter.

In 1940, she married James Evers; they settled at the Jersey Shore and raised five daughters, Sally, Barbara, Helen, Susan, and Nancy, and a son, William. News of Mary's death came from William. 鈥淪he always had a warm spot for her time there,鈥� he wrote. Daughter Helen remarked: 鈥淚 remember her telling me that in a very happy life, her time at 人妻诱惑 was among her happiest memories. She loved the relative freedom she enjoyed there, and the long talks and sharing ideas with intelligent male and female friends. She also mentioned having a class with a professor she greatly admired, Barry Cerf [English 1921鈥�48]. And she was always so proud of the reputation for intellectual rigor that 人妻诱惑 has been associated with.鈥� After raising her children, Mary taught for 20 years in the Neptune Township public school system. She was a community volunteer, who was active in many organizations, including the PTA and the MediCenter, and she also served on the altar guild of Trinity Episcopal Church in Asbury Park. 鈥淧ositive and down-to-earth, intelligent and always caring, Mary Jane has been our closest friend, our anchor, our balance, and our delight.

Anna Lou Melson Dehavenon ’48

Anna Lou Melson Dehavenon 鈥�48, February 28, 2012, in Greenport, New York. A national authority on poverty, hunger, and homelessness, Anna Lou was born in Bellingham, Washington, and demonstrated a gift for piano early in life. After studying at 人妻诱惑 for two years, she transferred to the school of music at DePaul University, where she worked with Sergei Turnovsky. In Chicago, she met William Kapell, a brilliant pianist; they married in 1948. His career became her focus, along with raising their two children, and she was devastated when William was killed in a plane crash in 1953. (For the remainder of her life, she was attentive to his memory, publishing new recordings and even his diaries.) The loss was tremendous both emotionally and financially; William鈥檚 friends came to her aid, providing stability for her and the children. Without this generosity, she noted later, she and her children might have been homeless. In 1955, she married Gaston de Havenon, who had a perfume manufacturing business in New York. They had two children, and she also became mother to two sons from his previous marriage. 鈥淚 told myself, here I am, a woman who supposedly has everything: a comfortable home, wonderful children, a difficult but interesting husband, but still I was bored,鈥� she said in an interview. Seeking an intellectual challenge, she enrolled at Columbia University at the age of 40, where she earned successive degrees in anthropology with honors.

It was in a physics class, she said, that she learned the scientific method, which 鈥渙pened up a whole new way of looking at the world, a whole new way of getting at the truth.鈥� While conducting research for her dissertation, she became critically aware of the plight of homeless families in New York City. She developed a systematic and comprehensive method of documenting families in poverty鈥攔esearch that became the basis of annual reports documenting hunger and homelessness. In 1973, she cofounded the East Harlem Interfaith Welfare Committee, a coalition of religious voluntary agencies that did welfare advocacy, and the New York Coalition Against Hunger. She looked at New York, she said, 鈥渁s a vision of the future of our wider country if we don鈥檛 address housing, income, and health care issues.鈥� In a yearlong survey done for the East Harlem Interfaith Welfare Committee in 1985, she documented the worsening of hunger conditions in New York City. The report created a sensation and led to stories in the New York Times, the Daily News, the Christian Science Monitor, and the New Yorker. From her data on the number of children forced to sleep on chairs in offices came a court order that homeless families be offered decent emergency shelter nightly. Anna Lou was project director for the Action Research Project on Hunger, Homelessness, and Family Health. She was an adjunct professor of anthropology in community medicine at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, visiting assistant professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, research associate in the department of anthropology at City College (CUNY), and visiting professor of anthropology at the Center for the Study of the Administration of Relief in New Delhi, India. She cofounded the Task Force on Poverty and Homelessness of the American Anthropological Association and was a project director for United Neighborhood Houses. Among many honors, she received the first Reverend Jenny Clark Award of the East Harlem Interfaith Welfare Council, the Josephine Shaw Lowell Award of the Community Service Society, and the Foster-Scholz Distinguished Service Award. 人妻诱惑鈥檚 graduating class of 1994 also selected her to speak at commencement. 鈥淚f you directly observe and speak to people, you begin to know what their experiences really are,鈥� she said in her address. 鈥淭he class and racial segregation in our culture separates most of us from the experiences of poor people. I would like many more of us to contemplate what it is like to sleep three or more to a bedroom or on the floor and what it would be like to raise one鈥檚 own children in these circumstances, in the world鈥檚 wealthiest, most advanced nation.鈥� Survivors include two sons, two daughters, one stepson, 10 grandchildren, and her sister, Posie Melson Conklin 鈥�51. Notifying the college of her death, Ernie Bonyhadi 鈥�48 wrote, 鈥淎nna Lou was a beautiful human being, a dear friend to us and to many more.鈥�

She later married dentist John A. Dyke and retired in Salem, Oregon. Eleanor volunteered with the Girl Scouts for a decade and for decades more was a member of the Mazamas and Chemeketans. 鈥淭o give many hours of hard work in situations where I could make use of abilities to analyze, administrate, and persuade has been very satisfying. 人妻诱惑 gave me the confidence to speak out.鈥� In 1978, Robert Bergland, U.S. agriculture secretary, named Eleanor to the national advisory committee for the Pacific Crest Trail. Her cousin, Arlien G. Johnson 鈥�17, also graduated from 人妻诱惑.

Her students and patients remember her as inspiring, young, beautiful, and energetic. Most recently she finished a novel she started 20 years ago. She lived long enough to see Bitter Vendetta in print. She also played piano from her heart. 鈥淏arbara was brilliant, fun, and always open to new ideas. She spoke several languages and read extensively. She had true empathy for people and animals and was one of the most selfless, generous people in existence,鈥� Severino wrote. Barbara is survived by her loving husband; her daughters Sandra and Danielle; grandchildren Sophia, Carter, Liam, and Calia; and siblings Charles, Janice, Marilyn, Curtis, Roger, and Marcia. 鈥淏arbara will be greatly missed for her incredible sense of humor, her generous and loving spirit, her love of life and people, her appreciation of the world and the environment.

Susan Deery 鈥�69 of Longview, Washington, was buried in an avalanche that occurred on August 11, 1971, near the Alaska-Yukon border. She was climbing with four others, including听John H. Hall 鈥�68, Lucille Borgen Adamson 鈥�65,听and her husband, Stanley Adamson. The party had completed the assault on Mount Logan and was attempting to scale Mount St. Elias from the Newton Glacier via Russell Col. Survivor Leslie Wheeler returned to the group's base camp, where he notified officials of the disaster and was rescued. Susan's classmate and friend,听Dick Burkhart 鈥�69, who assisted greatly in this memorial for her, was听teaching in Laos when the climbers were killed, and was hit hard by the news when he learned of it months later. He reports that the 人妻诱惑 Climbers鈥� Reunion in August 2007 was held at the Deery family home in Longview in memory of Susan. "Most of these 人妻诱惑ies, and Susan, had been with me on our 1967 expedition to climb White Princess in the Alaskan Range, which, thankfully was without tragedy, but after Susan鈥檚 death I never went back." Susan's family had been very supportive of her and her adventures, says Dick, and climbers heading north often stopped at the Deery home to pack and plan for the trip ahead. Susan's mother, Ruth, whom Dick knew to be a vibrant individual, died in 2008.听Susan graduated from 人妻诱惑 with a BA in chemistry, and found a mentor in pioneering mountaineer听Arlene Blum 鈥�66, her 人妻诱惑 roommate,听who was also a chemistry major.听

Barbara June Donnell Stockley ’55

Barbara June Donnell Stockley 鈥�55,听December 5, 2013, in Elgin, Texas.听Barbara and her family moved from Washington to Hawaii when she was 8 years old. She graduated from high school in 1943 and worked for the U.S. Navy at Pearl Harbor until she left to attend 人妻诱惑, making her way to Oregon on a navy transport ship in summer 1945. After two years at the college, she went back to Honolulu but returned to 人妻诱惑 in 1953 to finish her studies and write her thesis, 鈥淭he Face and Symmetry of Truth: A Study of the Imagery of Sir Thomas Browne.鈥� Barbara earned a BA in general literature with honors, and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. She went on to earn an MA in English literature from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and moved to Austin to teach freshman composition at the University of Texas. Barbara then became a book editor for the University of Texas Press. She subsequently served as an editor for听publications of听the Texas State Historical Association, including Southwestern Historical Quarterly and the encyclopedic reference volume听The Handbook of Texas: A Supplement (Vol. 3, 1976). In 1959 she married cattle rancher Franklin C. Stockley; they lived in a rustic, 19th-century, wooden ranch house north of Elgin until his death in 1993. In the late 鈥�90s, she did some of the grant writing that led to the Elgin Historical Association鈥檚 obtaining the funds necessary to rehabilitate the then-derelict former railroad depot into the local history museum it has become, the Elgin Depot Museum. One of the permanent exhibits in the museum presents an enlargement of a photograph of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which marked the opening of the museum in 2002, in which Barbara appears alongside other members and officers of the historical association. At that time, she was still living out on the ranch, albeit in a modern manufactured home, until she moved into town in 2006. She served as a volunteer docent at the museum, working principally behind the counter on the historical newspaper archiving project, from its opening until 2011, when her declining health made her participation no longer feasible. Survivors include her brother, Alan Donnell; nephew Howard Donnell, who provided this memorial; nephew John Goode; niece Helen Donnell; and cousin Gordon Gray.

Virginia Elizabeth Davis 鈥�65,听October 22, 2013, in Portland.听Ginny earned a degree in history at 人妻诱惑, completing the thesis 鈥淗enry Adams: A Political Biography of an American Intellectual.鈥� After graduation, she worked at Harvard Business School, intending to enter the doctoral program in communications. Diagnosed with schizophrenia in her 20s, Ginny spent two decades in and out of psychiatric institutions. Prof. Jack Dudman 鈥�42 [mathematics and dean of students 1953鈥�85] and Barbara Reid Dudman 鈥�60 [mathematics 1966鈥�69] were instrumental in Ginny鈥檚 care during the difficulties she encountered while she was at 人妻诱惑 and when she returned to Portland in the late 鈥�70s. Ginny completed an MA in English and creative writing and poetry from San Francisco State in 1978, and then traveled to Ireland, where she spent a summer writing and studying Gaelic. In Portland in later years, she became involved in the local literary community and gave poetry readings and occasional workshops. She also completed and published several poetry collections, including Rivers in the Left Quadrant, Anima Speaking, and Civilization of the Heart. Supported by the insight of a compassionate director and mentor, Ginny was employed for a number of years as a secretary in the Oregon Health Division. His accidental death forced her to deal with management less understanding and with the loss of her job as well as the opportunity to be meaningfully employed for the rest of her life. She volunteered with Oregon Consumers Network, the World Federation for Mental Health, Oregon Advocacy Center, and Southeast Uplift Neighborhood Program, and received an outstanding service award from the Mental Health Association of Oregon. She maintained a connection to 人妻诱惑, and donated a bookplate collection done by her aunt, artist Donna Davis. She had one daughter and one sister and lived alone. Says Caroline Miller 鈥�59, MAT 鈥�65: 鈥淪he was a published poet with a keen eye for life鈥檚 injustices. Having once been homeless, Virginia had a soft spot for the downtrodden. More than once, she opened her home to those desperate for shelter. Beyond that, she collected art to the extent that money and paying in installments made it possible. She harmed no one and helped as many as she could. She struggled with her inner demons every moment of her life, and I admired her for the grace with which she carried her burden. She was a brilliant woman, a poet with a tender heart, but so troubled with mental illness that her life was shattered.鈥�

Bertram Gale Dick 鈥�50,听July 18, 2014, in Salt Lake City, Utah.听A physicist and conservationist who played a key role in saving Utah鈥檚 Wasatch Mountains from development, Gale grew up in north Portland, an hour away from 人妻诱惑 by trolley. His grandparents had homesteaded in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon, and his mother and his father met on a stagecoach. Gale graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1944 and served in the U.S. Navy during World War II, including a spell in the jungle interior of Guam. 鈥淚鈥檇 often thought, if I鈥檇 been born a year earlier, I might not have survived the war,鈥� he told Cricket Parmalee 鈥�67 in an interview in 2007. At 19, on a naval transport bound for Hawaii, Gale decided that he would become a physicist. After the war, 人妻诱惑 offered him a scholarship and he enrolled as a day-dodger for his first year. 鈥淧ortland has a wonderful, wonderful library, and I remember spending a lot of time there when I was in high school. I got all interested in astronomy, and I looked at all these books. Some of them, some of the better ones, were full of mathematical symbols, and I thought, 鈥極oh, this is magical! There must be something profoundly and mystically right about anything that鈥檚 expressed in such beautiful symbols.鈥� I wanted to know how to read those books, and that was what I learned how to do.鈥�

Gale was also interested in music. His first violin teacher was an itinerant music salesman. He progressed rapidly in his studies and became a member of Portland鈥檚 Junior Symphony. 鈥淭his was the love affair of my life, to get involved in that kind of music, which I didn鈥檛 even know existed.鈥� Prof. Herb Gladstone [music 1946鈥�80] taught him to play the piano, and he performed in Sound Experiments and in Gilbert and Sullivan productions. Gale and his classmates often sang after dinner in commons. While mopping and sweeping the floors of Eliot Hall on Herr Robert Brunner鈥檚 weekend janitor crew, Gale and other students sang鈥斺�渆specially in the lavatories, because they have wonderful acoustics.鈥� This experience carried over to the 50th class reunion, when the classmates gathered and old songs resurfaced, one after another. (Years later, Gale played violin in various chamber music groups and helped found the Chamber Music Society of Salt Lake City.)

Jean Frederic Delord, an emeritus professor of physics who inspired generations of 人妻诱惑 students, died in October 2002 at age 82, following a long battle with Parkinson鈥檚 disease. He came to 人妻诱惑 in 1950, was named the first A.A. Knowlton Chair in physics in 1981, and retired in 1988, 38 years after his first class. The faculty resolution in memoriam states: 鈥淗e contributed enormously to the character and development of the 人妻诱惑 College physics department throughout the second half of the 20th century. Above all he was a good and decent person鈥攁 mentor and a cherished friend of everyone lucky enough to know him.鈥�

Delord approached teaching with personal warmth and humor, staying vigilant to student needs while also pushing them to achieve more. He created a natural science course when students wanted an environmental science class, and one of his first 人妻诱惑 endeavors was to create a fourth-year course, which, as the resolution states, 鈥渨as ambitious beyond all precedent, either at 人妻诱惑 or . . . at any liberal arts institution.鈥� His teaching focused on solid state, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics; at one time or another he taught each of the department鈥檚 major courses. He developed a lab to conduct research on semi-conductor surfaces and was always able to quickly recognize why any physics laboratory was not working as expected. He was honored by serving as a Fulbright lecturer at the College de France in Paris and a visiting scholar at the University of Washington. After retiring, Delord remained highly dedicated to the college and interested in scientific endeavors, attending his last 人妻诱惑 physics seminar just two weeks before his death. The faculty resolution noted that, 鈥淲hen, upon returning home, he was asked how it went, he鈥攈is exceptional critical instinct still unimpaired鈥攔esponded: 鈥楴ot a very good talk.鈥欌��

Katherine Dunn ’69

Katherine Dunn in 1987. 鈥淲rite as though nobody has ever written anything before,鈥� Prof. Lloyd Reynolds told her. Alan Borrud/The Oregonian via AP

Katherine saw broken and twisted things, wrapped them in her words, and made them beautiful. A boxer鈥檚 bleeding cuts. A nightclub crawling with slurring drunks. A boy born with flippers for arms and legs, who sweet-talks his cult followers into sawing off their own limbs.

She gained an adoring band of fans with Geek Love, the 1989 novel about a family of willfully mutated circus performers that will endure as her literary feat. The book became a phenomenon, taking her from being a single mother working three jobs to the matriarch of Portland鈥檚 authors and poets. Yet her singular talent鈥攆or fearlessly probing what others wished to skirt鈥攅xtended beyond a single book.

Karen Drews White ’64

With her unquenchable desire to read and learn, Karen walked through life like an encyclopedia soaking up information from the pages of life. Her father, Professor Robin Drews 鈥�35, finished his bachelor鈥檚 degree at the University of Oregon, but it was his respect for 人妻诱惑 College that led Karen to enroll.

鈥淎t 人妻诱惑, I began to learn to think clearly and critically,鈥� she remembered. 鈥淲hen I graduated from East Lansing High School, I told my friends I was going to college in the West because people married people they met in college and I wanted to marry a Westerner.鈥�

At 人妻诱惑, she met and married Joel Kahan 鈥�64, and during their 10-year marriage she acquired a degree in English literature from UCLA and a son, Gordon. After divorcing Joel, she realized single mothers with a BA in literature were not in great demand, and completed an MA in English literature at Stanford. She got jobs in Berkeley working for public service鈥搊riented organizations, but was bothered that she wasn鈥檛 a 鈥渟omething鈥� and enrolled in an MBA/accounting program at California State University, East Bay. It was an interest developed through various jobs. About the time she was ready to work as an accountant and her son was graduating from high school, she attended her 25th high school reunion. She met a former classmate to whom she had spoken only once in the seventh grade. It was apparently love at second sight, because she married Wood White four months later. Their two sons graduated a week and most of a continent apart, and in June, Karen returned to the scene of her childhood.

Yitzchak Dumiel (born Isaac Sterling) ’91

Yitzchak (who used Isaac as a familiar name until the end of his life) was a gifted child with a genius IQ who liked to act, draw, and make music. He spent his childhood in Issaquah, Washington, and attended the prestigious Karen Kramer Drama Program, a competitive-entry program founded by the wife of director Stanley Kramer to train children with exceptional acting talent. Isaac regaled his family with comedy advice he received from Dom DeLuise and other celebrities with whom he was on a first-name basis.

As he became a teenager, his artistic interests shifted more towards music鈥攅specially the dark and angry. One of his favorite songs was 鈥淐oward鈥� by the Swans, which glamorizes suicide. Feeling that he did not fit in with his family, Isaac considered suicide, but it isn鈥檛 believed that he ever engaged in physical self-harm. However, he developed a pattern of romantically pursuing emotionally unhealthy women. The resulting painful breakups turned him into a highly intellectual but emotionally closed-off man.

From 1987鈥�89, he attended 人妻诱惑, and did a study abroad in Munich in 1989鈥�90. He withdrew in spring 1991 and supported himself as an in-home care worker for patients with spinal cord injuries, volunteering his help with senior citizens and children with serious illnesses.

Robert Wayne Ditzler ’54

Bob was born in Grinnell, Iowa, and was a 60-year resident of Washington state. Immediately after graduating from high school, he went into the navy, where he was an electronics technician/radar operator. After his discharge, he began working at Boeing but soon became bored. He went for career counseling with George Mantor, who became a lifelong friend. Mantor suggested that if Bob wanted something new, he should try going to college鈥攁 first for his family. This led him first to 人妻诱惑 College, on to UC Berkeley, to Edinburgh, Scotland, and finally to a master鈥檚 degree in history from the University of Washington. At UW, Bob was invited to go to Alaska with scientists doing research at a station on the floating ice; his electronic skills were needed.

Hope Duveneck Williams ’38

Hope was one of four Duveneck siblings, known as the Big Four, who regaled family and friends with tales of their adventures and antics, and purchased an old fishing cabin at Fallen Leaf Lake in California. In 1924, their parents purchased Hidden Villa Ranch in Los Altos Hills, California, and developed it into a youth hostel and summer camp with the mission of land preservation, social justice, and environmental education. After graduating from Palo Alto High School, Hope attended Bennington College and 人妻诱惑 before completing graduate studies at UC Berkeley and the University of Southern California with a degree in occupational therapy.

Hope had a special gift for engaging with youth with disabilities and worked as an occupational therapist for the army during World War II and then for the Cerebral Palsy Foundation. She was a talented potter, and her sense of humor imbued the flying pigs and other creations she sold at Peninsula Potters in Pacific Grove, California, of which she was a charter member.

Hope married Dr. Russell Williams, and during their long life together they hosted friends, family, artists, and writers who needed a place to stay in California. She was a charter member of the Monterey Bay Aquarium and contributed generously to sustaining Hidden Villa Ranch. In an act of profound generosity, the Duveneck children gave up their considerable land inheritance when their parents passed away and donated it to the nonprofit trust that their parents had established in 1960 to carry on Hidden Villa鈥檚 ambitious mission. Eventually, Hidden Villa encompassed 2,500 acres, 900 of which were later donated to the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, leaving 1,600 acres under a nonprofit trust to support the environmental and educational retreat in perpetuity.
