Emerson Blodgett has renewed his state psychologist license before it expires in March. His particular interest at this stage “is with the older adult population.” In November he came home to Maine for Thanksgiving, traveling from Walnut Creek, California…. All of us who have lost a spouse can offer support and sympathy to Bernice Burnham Lobdell, who had been married to her husband, Winston, for fifty-four years when he died in 1992….Shirley Cave enjoys New Hampshire’s “seasonal surprises.” She keeps “reasonably busy” doing promotional work for the Heifer Project and joins the lively discussions of the Concord AAUW. Occasionally she sees Elden and Roz Nichols Dustin…. How interesting it must be to live in the house in which you were born, as does Rebecca Cousins Knight in Stonington, Maine. She has visited classmate Gertrude Young Clark who lives at the Courtland Living Center in Ellsworth…. This year Gertrude Diggery Herrick spent the winter at home in Yarmouth, Maine. Previously she had wintered in Destin, Florida, and did return there to De Land to visit a friend for a couple of weeks…. The Bill Dunhams still enjoy their Manchester, Maine, home, where they have lived for forty years. Married for fifty-seven years, a record in itself, they note that the Elden Dustins may have the class record — sixty-two years!… A note from Dick Eliot says he “misses our Reunions and remembers the ones we’ve had with great pleasure!”… “Only short trips this year,” says Helen Foss Saxton…. Looking back over his family and career history,Carroll Foster notes that he spent twenty years with Pan Am as a communications engineer, then sixteen in aerospace where he worked on the Apollo and Atlas space booster and on the Viking spacecraft…. We sympathize with Muriel Gower David on the death last October of her husband, Jack’34, and also extend sympathy to the family of Parker Dexterwho died October 31…. After a stay of thirty years in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Katherine LaMontagne has moved back to her hometown of Lewiston…. Geraldine Maloon Paige has a lovely tradition to create memories for her great-grandchildren. She makes sure her grandkids are rocked by their great-grandmother!…. Echoing the thoughts of many of us, Betty Mann Jacobs says, “My children and grandchildren are my great joy!”…After living in Connecticut for thirty years, Christine Stone Harris loves living in Maine. Right after The Highlands of Topsham opened in 1989, she moved there from Waldoboro, her home for twenty years. She has “never regretted” her decision to move…. In Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts, Lib Taylor Hoyt has moved to Heatherwood Retirement Facility, joining classmate Kate Hall Franklin Chadwick and Phyllis Naylor Hoehn ’31. |

The church has honored Gladys and Bernie by naming Drew Hall for them, with Bernard’s portrait there as well…. Last fall Louise Mallinson Jaggertraveled along the Maine coast and on to Campobello and St. Andrews. Earlier, in May, she went on a coach tour of the British Isles with a group of senior citizens…. Tom Musgravehad a visit from Clive Knowles ’33 (whose recent death we are sad to learn). They then had a three-way phone conversation with Donald Smith in Illinois, reminiscing about the old days at Bates. Quite the traveler, Don visited Monhegan Island last October, and in November spent a few days in Churchill on Hudson Bay in Manitoba, Canada. This April a trip to Barrow, Alaska, was on his agenda…. Abbottand Betty Saunders Smith have sold their Millbrook (New York) home and Betty now lives with daughter Susan Smith Davis ’65 in Kingfield, Maine. Betty still writes a column for the Millbrook Record, and now also writes for a Kingfield weekly. Abbott is comfortable in a Farmington nursing home. |
