1989

Short one this month; my daughter, Maia ’23, will have left on the night of Labor Day to fly to Boston and then take the Dartmouth Coach up to Hanover for her first-year trip and then the start of her new year! She and my wife, Noriko, just spent the weekend in Yosemite National Park. Can’t believe we have six more days with her here!

Speaking of Yosemite, give a rouse to Phil Ginsburg,who earlierin August was appointedby California Gov. Gavin Newsom to the California State Park and Recreation Commission. Phil has been general manager ofthe San Francisco Recreation and Park Department since 2009 and was Newsom’s mayoral chief of staff from 2006 to 2008.
