2023

Bruce Michelson, in the spring of 2022, was finally able to fulfill a bucket list item that had been long postponed during the pandemic. Bruce writes, “For two weeks, longtime friend John Hedeman (McDonogh ’68) and I walked the Wainwright Coast to Coast Path (Irish Sea to North Sea) across 200 miles through three national parks in Cumbria and Yorkshire. Though some days of this hike recalled early fall varsity football practices with Mr. Finney, the variety here (landscapes, pubs, village inns, friendly locals, affable dogs, defiantly local bitters and ales) made the experience rich and fun, and I’d heartily recommend it for outdoor enthusiasts whose lumbars haven’t given out. Theresa and I now look forward to a cushier roll through Morocco and Provence in the fall.”
