Hope you enjoy reading it, fellow Loggers... and now, on to the next issue!

Dalondo Moultrie, and Stella Zawistowski, with an extra round of applause for our student writer this issue, Janae Hill '26.

And last but not least, a standing ovation goes out to Sara Freeman '95 who helped make our Hollywood story happen - we could not have done it without you!

A huge thank you goes out to the talented creators who had a hand in bringing this issue to life: Kristofer Nyström, Alex Crook, Jonny Eberle, Jonny Smith, Veronica Craker, Amelia Hooper, Olivia Inglin, Zoe Branch '18, Debbie Caffazo, Andrea Cheung, Kristi Bowman Morgan '93...

Want to read about Loggers working on the stage and screen? Or who weave crafting into every part of their lives? Or who founded the university's Black Student Union (the first in the state of Washington?). You can learn about all of them and more at pugetsound.edu/arches.

My best advice is to pick up a bottle of University of Puget Sound alumni wine, sit back, and savour it (the article AND the wine)!

You'll also find two amazing recipes by cookbook author Cynthia Nims '86, and three delightful pieces of student writing. Anchored by the beautiful illustrations from John Jay Cabuay who perfectly placed campus in the middle of a vineyard - it's a treat from start to finish.

At the heart of it is the beautiful writing of Mike Veseth '72, who shares his insights into the many Loggers who have made amazing careers in the wine industry (and how wine is, he argues, a liberal art).

Thanks to Kristofer Nyström and Jonny Eberle for your great work on print and web design, to Kelsey Davis Design for your beautiful illustrations, and to all of the Puget Sound alumni who shared a snapshot of their story of meeting and falling in love on campus. Happy Valentine's Day! 💖 🪓 💝
