WEDDING CORNER
Penny (Fair) Van Esterik ’67 and John Van Esterik (Vic ’66) were married in Trinity Chapel on June 17, 1967. Penny carried coral centennial roses bred to celebrate the nation’s centennial. A student organist, Patrick Wedd played such wonderful music that the guests stayed sitting in the chapel long after the service ended and the bride and groom had departed for the reception. A week after the wedding, they joined the orientation program for CUSO volunteers and shortly after, left for Thailand where they taught anthropology at two different universities in Bangkok. After two years in Thailand, Penny and John began doctoral studies in Anthropology at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. After spending several years in the United States, they returned to Toronto where Penny joined the Department of Anthropology at York University, later joined by John. They have both retired with fond memories of both major institutions of higher education in Toronto.
