All of us who have lost a spouse can offer support and sympathy to\u00a0Bernice Burnham Lobdell<\/strong>, who had been married to her husband, Winston, for fifty-four years when he died in 1992….Shirley Cave<\/strong> 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\u00a0Elden<\/strong> and\u00a0Roz Nichols Dustin<\/strong>…. How interesting it must be to live in the house in which you were born, as does\u00a0Rebecca Cousins Knight<\/strong> in Stonington, Maine. She has visited classmate\u00a0Gertrude Young Clark<\/strong> who lives at the Courtland Living Center in Ellsworth…. This year\u00a0Gertrude Diggery Herrick<\/strong> 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\u00a0Bill Dunham<\/strong>s 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\u00a0Elden Dustin<\/strong>s may have the class record — sixty-two years!… A note from\u00a0Dick Eliot<\/strong> says he “misses our Reunions and remembers the ones we’ve had with great pleasure!”… “Only short trips this year,” says\u00a0Helen Foss Saxton<\/strong>…. Looking back over his family and career history,Carroll Foster<\/strong> 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\u00a0Muriel Gower David<\/strong> on the death last October of her husband,\u00a0Jack<\/strong>’34, and also extend sympathy to the family of\u00a0Parker Dexter<\/strong>who died October 31…. After a stay of thirty years in Cambridge, Massachusetts,\u00a0Katherine LaMontagne<\/strong> has moved back to her hometown of Lewiston….\u00a0Geraldine Maloon Paige<\/strong> 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,\u00a0Betty Mann Jacobs<\/strong> says, “My children and grandchildren are my great joy!”…After living in Connecticut for thirty years,\u00a0Christine Stone Harris<\/strong> 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,\u00a0Lib Taylor Hoyt<\/strong> has moved to Heatherwood Retirement Facility, joining classmate\u00a0Kate Hall Franklin Chadwick <\/strong>and\u00a0Phyllis Naylor Hoehn<\/strong> ’31.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The church has honored Gladys and Bernie by naming Drew Hall for them, with Bernard’s portrait there as well…. Last fall\u00a0Louise Mallinson Jagger<\/strong>traveled 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….\u00a0Tom Musgrave<\/strong>had a visit from\u00a0Clive Knowles<\/strong> ’33 (whose recent death we are sad to learn). They then had a three-way phone conversation with\u00a0Donald Smith<\/strong> 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….\u00a0Abbott<\/strong>and\u00a0Betty Saunders Smith<\/strong> have sold their Millbrook (New York) home and Betty now lives with daughter\u00a0Susan Smith Davis<\/strong> ’65 in Kingfield, Maine.
