Sequoyahns in the News
Claire Schwartz ‘08
Claire was profiled by the Los Angeles Times for her work in reuniting Altadena residents with photos and other memorabilia thought lost in the Eaton Canyon wildfire. An archivist with experience cleaning and storing lithographs, Schwartz has set up a website and Instagram account to help share some of her discoveries and find their original owners.
“This is the best way I know how to help right now,” she says. “If I can get even one photo back to its owners, I’ll consider this project a success.”
Miro Serrell-Freed ‘10
Miro was recently profiled by CNN for his efforts to save homes during the Eaton Fire. A former firefighter who left the Forestry Service in September of 2024, Miro is now starting his own fire resiliency business with trained wildland firefighters to help homeowners feel safer moving forward.
Sookie Orth '24
Sookie Orth ‘24 was featured in a Los Angeles Times piece on the mysterious origins of pizza box art used by restaurants across the western United States. Orth, who is currently a freshman at Bard College in New York, began working at Pizza of Venice in Altadena after demonstrating an unusual aptitude for assembling the pizza boxes for fun while dining there. Her experiences even shaped the first draft of her college admissions essays.
The story delves into the Internet’s interest in tracking down the original artist and commissioner.
