Alan Van Zee 1979

I work as the director of music ministries at St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church in Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii and live in nearby Lawai. About the same time I started my job at the church, I met another new staff member named Beth Debrey from nearby Kapaa, who works as the Church Administrator. Some months later we were talking and discovered that we were fellow Midwesterners; myself from Iowa and she from nearby Rock Island, Illinois. In further conversation we discovered that Beth attended Central College’s London Study Abroad Program in 1977. As it turns out, I missed meeting my new co-worker by just two years as I was hired by the college in 1979 to be their London residence director, where I remained until 1984. We both lived at 7 Bedford Place two years apart. What a small world!
