Photography at Duke Farms

David DeFresse '91 will lead a photo walk at Duke Farms for local Princetonians who want to get more out of their photography gear. We will go over concepts that work for everything from the cell phone camera to the point and shoot to the higher end digital SLR.

We will meet at the Orientation Center at 10 AM and visit some of the interesting sites around the Duke Farms grounds. We will end near the great waterfall. Depending on when we finish, we may be treated to a display of the waterfall in action since the only work around noontime.

Everyone (parents, grad students, PU staff, spouses, etc., etc.) are welcome!

Free Wine Tasting on Sunday, 6/30

Hi everyone-- I'm helping David Beck '66 put together a (free!)
wine tasting this coming Sunday, from 1-6pm at the Princeton
Corkscrew Wine Shop. He and his wife Jeanne are in town to show
off the latest Montebruno pinot noir from their Willamette
Vineyard. (As an aside, I've tried it, and it's delicious!!.)

If anyone is around this coming Sunday between 1-6pm,
please stop by the Corkscrew (49 Hulfish St, a couple of doors
down from Mediterra) and support a local Tiger's endeavors,
and taste some amazing pinots while you're at it.

Best wishes,
-Jane Fleming Fransson '00

PA3 held its annual meeting and dinner on April 23, 2013 at the Institute for Advanced Study. Approximately 75 members and guests registered for the event.
 
President of PA3 Kristin Epstein '97 introduced the business part of the meeting and presented a brief annual report, noting that approximately 50 events were held or sponsored by PA3 during the last year. Elections were then conducted by George L. Bustin '70 for officers of the organization, in accordance with the by-laws. The following slate of officers was proposed by the Nominating Committee and elected for a two-year term by affirmative vote of the members present at the meeting:

  • President: Sev Onyshkevych '83
  • Vice President: Arlen Kassof Hastings '80
  • Secretary: Sara Hastings '09
  • Treasurer: Fouad Masrieh *69 

In addition, the meeting approved the recommendation of the Nominating Committee that the two unexpired terms of directors of PA3 be filled by Rick Ober '65 and Jim Robertson '91. 
 
Following the elections, president-elect  Sev Onyshkevich and the full executive committee of PA3 joined in thanking Kristin Epstein for her leadership in reviving the association and building a strong, lively organization during her two terms as president. 
 
Henry von Kohorn, president of the Alumni Association and chair of the Alumni Council, made a special presentation to PA3 on behalf of the Alumni Council  for excellence in communications; the award was accepted by secretary Sara C. Hastings '09 and Daniel Hayes-Patterson '09, Technology chair.
