PEOPLE

FIVE PRESIDENTS AND A BOUT OF SOUFFLÉ

All hail the Chef: Henry Haller outside his kitchen

Originally from Altdorf, Switzerland, Henry Haller first apprenticed at the famed Park Hotel in Davos, Switzerland in 1939. He spent a decade perfecting his craft in hotel and restaurant kitchens of Switzerland and then later Montreal. In 1953 he arrived in the United States and a few years later he was the Executive Chef at the Sheraton in New York, commanding a staff of fifty.

In 1966 The White House put out an open call for a Chef. Haller (indifferent to the excitement surrounding this) actually told his wife, 'Well, if they want me, they can call me."

He retired under the Reagan administration and has lived since in Virginia with his wife Carole. We gave Mr. Haller a call to reminisce about his White House days...

Ex-Rasputina (a “well corseted cello group”) member, Serena Jost, a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist is one such individual. Ladies and Gentlemen for your consideration, the next generation…

THE NEW FACE OF SWITZERLAND

Thabo Sefolosha, NBA rising star is not your typical NBA rising star. He's part Swiss and part South African: born on Lake Geneva, raised in Montreux; lived in five countries, fluent in three languages, plays a mean shooting guard for the NBA, reads Paul Auster, listens to Method Man...

He's 23 and for Switzerland, a country with centuries of diversity under its belt— he represents the new guard.
