Karl Knobler
Karl Knobler promised to get the folk singing group of the Clear Creek Singers made up of Bobby Mehrer '66, Susan Wenger Duffy, Mike Hoehne, Sam Groves and himself. It was wonderful. We were also able to make a CD with the help of John Schuerman '66, which is for sale. The proceeds will go to Earlham. Information about it can be found at John's website: http://s-mann.home.insightbb.com/.

Louisa Wright Khanlian
I am a retired technical writer, having worked for many years in the computer field. I live in Moorestown, NJ and am active in the monthly meeting. Volunteer work includes STEM (Save the Environment of Moorestown), League of Women Voters, school committee member at Moorestown Friends School, and board member for Cadbury Continuing Care at Home. I have a wonderful grandson, Stanley Hilinski Khanlian, born 12/18/2006. I'm so glad that he and his parents, David (fifth grade teacher) and Jen (school counselor), also live in Moorestown! Jonathan lives in Lambertville, only an hour away, and works as an actuary, but really wants to get into the film business. I recently started taking ballroom, Latin and swing dancing lessons...lots of fun!

Obituaries:
David Merrill Boynton
David Merrill Boynton, 62, a certified public accountant at the National Science Teachers Association and a longtime Quaker activist for peace, died of strep septicemia Dec. 29 at Prince William Hospital. He lived in Manassas. Mr. Boynton helped establish the vigil for peace on Lafayette Square in front of the White House and a similar vigil outside the entrance to the CIA. He worked on nuclear-freeze campaigns in the 1980s and, as head of the peace committee at the Langley Hill Friends Meeting in McLean, defied U.S. immigration law in 1983 and gave sanctuary to a Salvadoran couple threatened with deportation. "We found ourselves in the position of having to break laws to help refugees; to break laws to follow our Christian conscience," Mr. Boynton told a Washington Post reporter. "We don't do it secretly. We do it openly. . . . We feel that because our government supports what is going on there in El Salvador, America has a responsibility to help these people. . . . If we can bring them small safety and comfort, it will be a small victory." He was born in New York City and graduated from Earlham College in Indiana. He then worked as a researcher at the National Institutes of Health for two years and with his father in publishing during the 1970s. He had been a CPA at the teachers association since 1995. He was also the bookkeeper for the Langley Hill Friends Meeting for many years. Mr. Boynton was a member of the Folklore Society of Greater Washington, active in the contra dance community, also participated in the Washington Area Bicycling Assoc. where he volunteered for Bikes for the World and the 1980's Nuclear Freeze. Survivors include his wife of 35 years, Charlotte Boynton of Manassas; two children, Thomas Boynton of Arlington County and Betsy Boynton of Falls Church.

David W. Alm
David ''Dave'' W. Alm, beloved husband for 33 years of Sue Alm, nee Crossey; devoted son of Sally and the late Robert Alm; loving brother of Jim and the late Kathy Disrud; adored uncle and special friend. An attorney and Vietnam veteran, Dave was a charming, humble and empathetic presence in the lives of all who knew him. Dave listened and cared. Most everyone who met Dave came away with both a greater appreciation for something new and at least one book. His greatness lay in his natural attention to the world around him and those in it. The rare man who was as comfortable with hot dogs at Wrigley Field as he was at the Chicago symphony, Dave mingled interests in fine arts, sports, history, world travel, cuisine, voracious reading in a rich and varied life. Dave concentrated on the good things in life and when his many friends were with him, they tended to concentrate on them as well.
