Update on Class Events Rick Hatton ’64 on “Wildfire Containment and Suppression From the Air” 
On Thursday, January 23, 2025, Rick Hatton ’64 spoke on “Wildfire Containment and Suppression from the Air.” 
This topic is particularly relevant at the moment in view of the multiple wildfires threatening Los Angeles as gusts to hurricane force fan the flames. Rick founded and runs a company whose primary asset is a surplus DC-10 airliner modified for aerial firefighting. The plane is fitted with a large external tank from which a fire-suppressant mixture can be dropped to contain the spread of a wildfire. |
Latest Class News Gus Speth '64 has written about the factors which caused the Democrats’ defeat in the 2024 presidential election. The problem is the huge number of Americans who were drawn to Trump because they believe they have been shunted aside economically and socially and not helped by the Democrats. See the full essay here. 
Sam Francis ’64 gave a talk at our 60th Reunion titled “Evolution ... From Soup to Nuts.” See an extended version of that talk here. The talk covers the history of life: its origin, its evolution, and its extinction.
