Her undergraduate education played a part) / by Jeff Palmer -- Four Power (Paul Lamont Thompson may be the most recognized name of his Kalamazoo College family (he served as President of the College from 1938 to 1948). But he’s hardly the only Thompson associated with the College) / by Zinta Aistars -- Conflagration (Anne Fege ’73 played an important role in one of the most significant natural disasters to affect the United States. She shares some wisdom “between fires.”) / by Anne Fege -- Return North (As a junior high school and high school student Diane Dupuis ’80 was a participant in the Interlochen Summer Arts Camp.
