1983
Sheila Cooke-Witt (MBA) and husband Karsten Witt (MBA) completed a two-year circumnavigation of the world in their 55-foot X-Yacht GUNVØR XL. More than 60 family members and friends took part in their sailing adventure. John Thompson (Artsci’81, MBA’83) and Ellen Thompson (MBA’83) flew from Ghana, where John is with Nestlé, to South Africa, just for a visit during the ship’s stopover at Cape Town. Sheila and Karsten are now settling back into the ‘real world’ at their home in Hamburg, Germany, where Sheila is a teacher and translator and Karsten is President of Witt & Sohn AG, a multinational manufacturer of industrial fans.
