“For the past 13 years I have been coddiwompling on the sea in a small sailboat, floating like a ‘trustful beetle’—just me and my cocaptain in our 12-meter sloop called Jacaranda.”

Paula Netzky Spiegel CW’60 writes, “On Wednesday, April 10, Beaumont at Bryn Mawr held its third annual University of Pennsylvania reunion. Our group includes alumni, faculty, and staff. Congregating in the Beaumont Music Room, we had the great pleasure of listening to 11 members of the Penn Glee Club sing a delightful medley of Penn songs, old standards, and spirituals. The Glee Club performed for us at this event last year and it was the unanimous decision of our committee to invite them back this year. The fact that it was the right choice was borne out by the enthusiastic applause after each number. The balloons decorating the tables were filled with helium to lift them in the air. The Glee Club provided the helium for our spirits! Their performance was followed by a delicious meal, orchestrated and served by our superior staff.”

Aga writes, “We invented Waken Glass, a patent-pending technology that allows copper and glass to unite in a unique high-temperature interaction to form a single material. We are also working on technology that allows gold and glass to unite through a similar process.” Waken Glass was featured in an art exhibition, titled “UNEARTH,” at bitforms gallery in New York, March 28–May 5. Aga adds, “This is the first time this material is used by an artist [Sara Lundy], and for most visitors, this is their first introduction to the existence of this material.”
