Newkirk and his wife visited the School. Now a California resident, this was his first time back to Saltus since attending from 1955–58, when Newkirk’s father piloted a hurricane hunter for the US Air Force at Kindley Field.

Dr. Andre Raine (’92) emailed us: “As part of my work with BirdLife Malta, I deal with illegal hunting and trapping (Malta has a serious problem), a wide range of ornithological research, communications and policy work, and also spend a lot of my time working with the Yelkouan Shearwater, a species for which Malta has a significant portion of the world population. I have been here for the last threeand-a-half years, and our website has a lot of info on what we do out here (www.birdlifemalta.org). As an aside, we also have a one-year-old son, who I foresee as being one of the next generation of the world’s conservationists.” Michael Frith (’93) recently became a director at CD&P His daughters .
