Former Point Reyes Light<\/em> reporter Ivan Gale married Annalene MacLew<\/strong> Sept. 5 in Johannasburg, South Africa, and he is now briefly back in West Marin introducing her to friends and relatives.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> Family gathering (back row from left): Ivan Gale, Annalene Gale n\u00e9e MacLew, Mike Gale, Sally Gale, Amy Culver n\u00e9e Gale holding daughter Izzy, Rohan Gordon, Katie Gordon n\u00e9e Gale. Front row: Brent Culver and daughter Sarah Culver<\/em>.<\/p>\n

After he left my newsroom in 2004, Ivan earned two master’s degrees<\/strong> at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism. When he finished his second year at Columbia, Ivan was hired by The Gulf News<\/em>, an English-language newspaper in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A year ago, Ivan was hired away by a new daily newspaper, The National<\/em>, in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE.<\/p>\n

As it happens, Annalene works for Etihad Airways, which is based in Abu Dhabi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Mike and Sally talk with Marin County Supervisor Steve Kinsey (right) during a party Saturday for Ivan and Annalene<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Ivan is the son of Chileno Valley ranchers Mike and Sally Gale, and on Saturday a throng of ranchers, artists, local officials, journalists, relatives, and other friends showed up at Gale Ranch to wish the newlyweds well.<\/p>\n

Of course, not everything at Gale Ranch has been warm<\/strong> and cozy of late. Today Mike told me it was so cold in Chileno Valley during the night that the cattle had frost on them this morning.<\/p>\n

By noon, however, the day was sunny and getting warmer. At least Annalene can now understand the old West Marin expression, “If you don’t like the weather here, just stick around a few minutes, and it’ll be different.”<\/p>\n

As for the rest of you, happy holidays and try to stay warm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
