Nick Ludington sent us a
note: “The son of an old and
good friend, a prominent Turk-
ish journalist, recently visited
with his family at our home in
Hudson on Palisades, N.Y. We
spent six years in Turkey during
my years as a correspondent.”
John Witsell shared this
update: “My dear wife, Daphne,
died five years ago after 52
years of marriage. I retired
from JPMorgan and continue to
live in Hobe Sound, Fla., Locust
Valley, N.Y., andWolfeboro, N.H.
This September, after 79 years, I
hadmy first hole-in-one on the
17th hole, a 180-yard, par 3 hole
at the Bald Peak Colony Club.”
Peter Booth wrote in No-
vember: “I attended a recent
Tailhook in Reno, where I had
a booth for my four books,
the latest of which is Aircraft
Carrier Command. All are in
Orhstrom Library. Following
Annapolis, I became a Navy
fighter pilot and worked up the
ranks to command of the car-
rier Forrestal and as the head
of the Navy’s flight training as
a flag officer. I loved it all and
would not do anything appre-
ciably different, including 54
years with Carolyn. Pensacola
for the past 25 years, equally
great town. More on the books

quote: If I hit the Florida jackpot,
half would go to SPS. Wonderful
two years!”

This from Keith Lorenz: “Just
published by Goff Books, San
Francisco, is A Photographic
Voyage: Essays and Reflections
by Keith Lorenz, photographs by
Paul Chesley, which highlights
four decades by a renowned
National Geographic photogra-
pher. My text evokes the many
years I spent in Southeast Asia
as a news correspondent from
the early 1960s. I also write on
Cuba, the Galapagos, Australia,
the American West, Bhutan,
Japan, China, and the South Pa-
cific to accompanyMr. Chesley’s
stunning pre-digital images.
This is an elaborate coffee-
table-size art book. It focuses
on peoples and cultures of the
recent past before the numbing
effects of globalization. Based in
Honolulu for the last 30 years,
I have captured the flavor of
an era between colonialism
and modernization to mirror
Chesley’s journeys featuring
Japanese geishas, Angkor Wat,
aborigines Down Under, Havana
street life, and idylls in Micro-
nesia and Tahiti for National
Geographic, TimeLife, and other
publishers.”
