Stephan Lamb ’73 grew up immersed in international culture due to his mother’s work as a professor of Latin American literature and poetry at Scripps College as well as universities in Spain, Brazil, and Argentina. Those overseas experiences gave Stephan a love of travel. He studied abroad in Rome during his time at Santa Clara and attended graduate school in Puebla, Mexico. Stephan was an advocate for nonprofit work and community service. He led various local organizations, including Hospice of San Luis County, the AIDS Support Network, Woods Humane Society, and more. He was also a gifted artist, creating daily stories on rolodex cards and authoring “The TALL Tale of Shorty the Giraffe.” His loving spirit was best shown in the way he brought people together, especially by hosting a beloved “Pie Party” every year on Christmas Eve. Stephan died on March 17, 2025.
