Rebellious roots Donald before Charlotte… and Charlotte before Donald
As husband and wife for 54 years, Donald and Charlotte MacJannet jointly pursued a radical educational vision that transcended
national borders. But both were well into their 30s when they met and married in
1932. Two memoirs recently discovered in the Tufts University archives — one
by Donald, one by Charlotte — shed light on the forces that shaped them
separately before they joined forces with such inspiring impact.

Legend of the Princess of Angon
View of Duingt from the Side Wheel Steam Boat approaching Duingt
The Side Wheel Steam Boats of Lac Annecy
If you visited Talloires a long time ago, you would have seen this boat or one like it, making its way across the lake from Talloires, to Duingt, to Angon then Dussard and then back to Angon, Duingt, Talloires, and on across the lake several times before reaching Annecy. This particular boat, the "Mt Blanc", was replaced by larger side wheel paddle boats: the Annecy and the "France" sometime in the 1930's. The boat shown in color is similar to the "France" but is actually one that is currently in use on Lac Leman.
