Post Summer Solstice Party (June 2025)

Glad to see everyone last night!

I only grabbed six pictures:

Terry Bristol, ISEPP president, joined us this time.  Don Wardwell, Nirel, Bob Bornemann... (sampling some older pictures)...

I brought a guest, Ryan, a maths scholar from Roseburg, visiting faculty [1], and enjoyed the opportunity to review our history with him. [2]

Ryan was here two years ago, and Terry gave him a copy of Give Space My Love about Terry's adventures with Stephen Hawking. 

He was glad to get more of that lore from Terry in person.  Me too.

See y'all next time I hope!  InshaAllah.

Notes:

[1] I've been getting a lot of visiting faculty this last week, Casey, Dante, and now Ryan. 

My School of Tomorrow specializes in Cascadian Synergetics these days (newly evolved branding -- I'm still pushing Martian Math as a part of that).

Cover of my CS 3-ring binder (I sometimes take it to Dead Mathematician Society gatherings @ MHCC), AI generated:

A & B Modules, by Richard Hawkins, used extensively in my online curriculum materials (lots of geometric content, but also humanities):

 

[2] My version of the Wanderers history starts with Linus Pauling and Terry's ISEPP of course, then mentions Doug Strain's vital role in both curating our venue (Pauling House) and providing the nearby Stark Street Quakers with their meetinghouse, formerly an Electro-scientific Instruments factory, and before that, Jantzen and Portland Knitting Co.
