MORE NAMES Hello Steve, another look has given me another name for your teacher list: Pat Parkes, occasionally known rather uncharitably as "Potty Parkes", there in 1953. If memory is correct (not sure!) he was then deputy to Mr. Corlette although he was quite a young man. You could add to your list of teachers:Mr. Petts (mathematics). He was killed in a mountain-walk fall in 1953.Mlle. Joukowski (French). Also there in 1953.Best regards, John Humbach.   Students who are no longer with us Alessandro Pucci If there are particular people you want to talk about and remember, let's do so. =================== Open letter We have three projects: Create an article about John Corlette on Wikipedia.org Read the "Knol" that is being built (and submit your added data to aiglonreunion@gmail.com) Create an article about Roy Watts on Wikipedia.org We also want an ORAL history of the school. We need stories about these men and the school and the times they lived in. From the stories we will cull details that can eventually turn into an article for our web site. http://sites.google.com/site/myaiglon/ (this web page) The audio stories will be blocked from the general planet and will not be "searchable" on Google. The only way you can find the audio stories is through a password that we will periodically change to keep it "just within in the Aiglon community." We are looking for pre-aiglon stories, too. What shaped Roy Watts and John Corlette to be the leaders and headmasters that we remember? What do we not know about them that will help us understand them better? What would you like us to remember about them? We want AUDIO stories because the time spent spellchecking and formatting a single story can be used speaking about 3 or 4 other incidents. We want pieces that describe the times. We're creating an oral history of the people at Aiglon and their lives before and after the school. A lot to capture. Who has time for typing? let's get the story on audio and go from there... Best wishes Jeremy, Steve, John and others who support this oral history project (If you support this project, please send me an email and get your name on this list. you can support it most if you make a short video and post it on youtube under "PRIVATE" and send me the coordinates, plus give me [stevecongeralpina@gmail.com] permission to listen to it) +++++++++++++++++++ OTHER ATTEMPTS to publicize this Oral History Project I sent this message to some people on Facebook Jeremy McWilliam came up with a great idea. "I want to write about certain expeditions. I'd like to write down some notes and share them and see what other pople remember." great idea. http://www.myaiglon.com is the site for this fun activity. "Beanie!" I'm sure some of you remember that dog... Send your memories, written or on video --point the camera at a yearbook photo and tell us a story. Best wishes Steve If you don't care to receive these bulk messages, tell me and I'll take you off the list. We're also encouraging staff to record meditations or to allow us to record the meditations. Jeremy is recording his dad's meditation (that appears in the Aiglon Med. book, 1989) and I'm reading Teddy Senn's meditations (until we can get someone with a microphone to visit Teddy). Eliz. Senn thinks her meditations are "old fashioned and out of date"... I can't persuade her otherwise, so I turn to oter alumni to contact Elizabeth and persuade her. I think Teddy likes getting phone calls -- Louis Snyder gave me their phone number. If you would like to contact Eliz. and Teddy, here is the number (contact stevecongeralpina@gmail.com if you want the phone number) Let's encourage staff to share their memories with us. ================================================ Correspondence about myAiglon.com Steve...very well done, my friend. I am so pleased that you have adopted the position and joined the ranks of "Aiglon School Historian"...those of you whom are so keen to document and to preserve Aiglon's remarkable early history, beginning with our Founder. Once this project builds momentum, I can assure you, the old-timers will want to get in on this project. Hopefully other alumni staff will put forth their most cherished memories of "J.C., The Man, and His School in the Alps."

For alumni who were present, you can submit photos, too, and we'll blend these photos together. It will make a nice visual experience.

Many years ago, I realized that the truest thanks I could give to my Aiglon teachers, would be to teach others with as much verve, generosity and  TBOH, Perryman, Monnier, Agier, McColville, Whitehead, Senn, Roberts, Koch, Elliott, Roddy, Parsons, Watts, JC, Berry There are others.

Some of the comments were collected from the THREE THINGS ABOUT AIGLON group on Facebook. GUIDELINES The symbol of this web page is the sundial: we record the sunny hours. When you give someone's email address, we'll list it like this stevecongeralpina BAT gmail SPOT com bat = @ SPOT = .

Phone numbers will not be listed as contacts except if you specifically give permission. My mobile is +1 954 646 8246 because some people might want to instantly reach me and I check my alpina gmail account only twice a week. When describing an expedition, you can say, "I was on an ex with Conger, McWilliam and M T" because you haven't checked with MT yet. When you check with him, then you can inform me and I'll change MT to his actual name... if he wants to be included in the story. See below for the "list of OK names" Do you have other suggestions?
