One of the teachers attending with the group has a personal connection as she came to the Huntsman in 1986 as a high school student. Just by coincidence pictures of her class were featured on the front page of the most recent issue of our newsletter, SeaWords. We are very happy that fond memories of the Huntsman encouraged her to come back with her students!
