Alumni Updates
Barry k Avery
Biological Sciences, 1965
Barry is still planting and maintaining Holcomb Tree Trail, an Arboretum in Granby, CT that was started by Barry and 2 others about 6 years ago. They have planted about 120 tree of all sorts and numerous native shrubs. The 120 acres is in a 99 year lease as the property is owned by the Town of Granby. It is part of a 340-acre farm that was a gift of Tudor and Laura Holcomb who were descendants of the first Holcombs who settled the farm in 1705. If anyone is in the area, Barry will give you the free tour.
Vincent Engel
Art, 1970
Vincent and his wife, both 1970 graduates of Humboldt State, recently returned to California after living almost 10 wonderful years in Barcelona, Spain. They returned to be new grandparents. They are slowly readjusting to the pace of life here, but enjoying their grandson. They are looking forward to visiting Cal Poly Humboldt this fall. It's always nice seeing the changes to the campus and it’s magnificent surroundings.
Kathleen Clark
Sociology, 91
After graduation, Kathleen very happily worked as a bread baker at the Co-op Bakery for several years... but eventually got a job as a social worker in Child Welfare in the Bay Area. She promoted to a supervisor position (her favorite job) and later became a program manager for the Public Administrator in the Bay Area. Kathleen retired in 2022. She and her wife returned to Humboldt County where she is now on the McKInleyville Municipal Advisory Committee, and volunteering at the Native Plant Society and thoroughly enjoying the beaches and hikes that she loved 30+ years ago. And she is so glad that so many college friends are still here.
