A problem for which I am eekmg the solution is that of the m1sla1d letter. At the lease, it 1 not fair ro che wncer-or co all you readers who might l ike co share the news. I JUSt unearthed a letter (dated May 2 3 , 1 996 ! ) from Melva Mann Farnum '23.

All of her children are now reured, and he keep crack of a mall army of descendants, culmmatmg w1rh 1 8 great-grand children . . . . A clipping, from a mid-Maine newspaper, tells of a $300,000 gift by M.D. Clarence McLaughlin '26, m Gardiner, Maine, roan Alzheimer' care center m his area. ( Half ofrhose over 85 are afflicted by che d i ea e . ) Dr. McLaughlm was a general practitioner for 30 years before his retirement in 1 966.

Donald '33 and Dor othy Gould Rhoades '36 sent me a ingle �paced, two-page Christmas letter, which in reality is an infinitely detailed travelogue sweep ing from the crunch mg icebergs of Alaska to the

I hold here in my hand a charming letter from a minister's wife and Colby graduate who asks that her name not appear in chis column! While revealing no clues as to her identity, I will state that her roommates were, variously, Jean Congdon Deneke '40, Marga ret Johnson Kenoyer '40 and Frances Gray '40. At her 50th reunion, on campus, she met Kit t y Coffin Mills '39 and Nannabelle Gray Carter '40. She praises me for having the gall co follow Marjorie Gould Shuman '3 7 in this job. ays thi mystery writer, "Marjorie and her roommate Betty Wilkinson Ryan '3 7 were an unusual pair." ( I'll drink to that. ) . . . Martha Burrill Nelson '38 died on J une 4, 1 996, at Mercy Hospital in Portland, Maine. She was a lifelong residentofWinslow, Maine, and worked as a secretary for the Hollingsworth & Whitney Paper Company and the A.P. Wyman Con struction Company . . . . Ed Hooper '38 says the best decision he ever made was to go to Colby even though money was very scarce and he was being helped by his widowed mother. Age hinders Ed from appearing as a player at Wimbledon, and you can tell how he feels about polittcians because there is a scorched hole w h e re he wrote h is o p i n i o n . He a d d s , "Breckenridge and Chapman are t w o o f the greatest you will find on any college campus." . . . Once a year, the Elijah Parish Lovejoy Award is given to a journalist who best exemplifies the life and work of Lovejoy, a Maine native who wa murdered in Alton, I ll . , in 1 83 7 in defense of freedom of the press. The award was suggested in 1 95 1 by Dwight Sargent '39, who attends each year's presentation at Colby. Clippings from Dwight's hometown paper, the Pelham ( N .Y . ) Weekly, and an unidentified publication fill in the details of the Lovejoy Convocation and Dwight's important role in the proceed ings . . . . In a J uly 1 996 issue of Down Ea.st magazine, readers are challenged to identify a lighthouse m a photograph. The caption for the photo is: "Where in Maine?" In an August letter to the editor, Nathaniel Guptil '39 responds: "I don't know where it is. But I can cell you where it isn't." And he does. All this by way of a c l ipping included in a lovely note (she never writes any ocher kind) from Violet Hamilton Christensen '39 . . . .

Manny, his wife and 1 00,000 others in the area were evacuated from their homes one evening from 1 1 p.m. to 6 a.m. Damage: $350,000,000. Manny's letter, from which the preceding was extracted, was postmarked Feb. 2 3 , 1 996. You never know what's under the pile on your desk, and yes, Manny, I 'm sorry to be so late . . . . You

well Brown '44. Vivian's letter, filled with news and sunlight, will do you more good. he is now the exclusive and official correspondent for the Class of 1 944 after Sue Conant Cook '7 5 , director o f alumni relations, asked her t o d o so. ( Sue wrote similarly to me, except my cutoff date is 1 940. At age 80, celebrated January 1 4 , 1 99 7 , I a m n o longer o f average age for m y group but one of the youngest. The almost 60-plus gang can now marvel at my youth and vigor. ) In her January Class of '44 letter, Vivian reports that C.F. Hathaway ( shirts) and Harris Bakery in Waterville are still in business. I, born and raised in Waterville, had heard otherwise and was saddened by the news. I used ro unload loaves of bread from the ovens at Harris Bakery during high school and sold Hathaway shirts during the war. l was cheered no end to hear that Hathaway is still going and that Hams is back in business. Vivian and I lived only houses away in our youth in Waterville.

44 The news that the classes from

1 940 through 1 949 will have their own columns in Colby magazine was greeted with enthusiasm. However, Fletcher Eaton should be praised for the fantastic job he has done and is still doing as coordinator for the older classes. A very special thank-you from me, Fletcher, and I hope you are feeling better. . . . Nancy Pattison McCarthy writes from Carlisle, Pa. , that she was pleasantly surprised to learn that John Wood's son is practicing medicine in Carlisle. She added that when he registered for our 50th reunion, che gal at the desk exclaimed, "Oh, my granddaugh ter was in that class"! . . . Nancy Bell Martin is still living in Kermit, Texas, and still doing a great deal of traveling. Because of her choles terol problems, she walks or rollerblades an hour a day, does floor exercises, climbs stairs and eats very l ittle fat or fr ied foods. She continued, "] don't have the stamina I used to have, and that's aggravating. I guess I get being a tomboy from my dad. He was out flying kites when he was 85, just before he died." . . . Priscilla Keating Swanson writes from Wilmington, Del . , that she and her husband were in Maine in J uly but had guests, so were unable to contact Fred '43 and J oJ o P i t t s M c A l a r y , m u c h to her dismay. . . . Tacy Hood Finney is enjoying her new apartment in Brighton Apartments, St. Johnsbury, Ve. She is still in a walker-she has a fused right leg-but able to manage her own affairs, with help in cleaning and driving on errands. Her daughters, Melissa and Cindy, with their husbands and families were to be with her at Christmas. Cindy is coordinator of emotion-

I discovered five questionnaires that were returned to me 1 0 months ago that 1 never wrote up. Here they are, late and stale, with my apologies. Dick Larschan wrote that he is gain ing weight, gray hair and some perspective, while lo mg hair of all colors, time, and patience with some fellow inhabitants of the planet. Meanwh ·1e he is off to Britain again on a faculty exchange (Nottmgham) and reports that his wife looks forward to a sabbat1cal, 1 1 -year-old Alexandra will be an English chool girl again, and Erica, a junior at Wellesley, will spend her second semester at Kings College in London srudymg biochemistry. Dick is now president of the Eastern Massachusetts Chapter of the

Fulbright Association and sent a photo of him selfwith former presidentJ immy Carter . . . . Jan Stoddard Gagnon says she is gaining weight and grandchildren while losing sensory acuity and a few bad habits. She remembers Maine as a wonderful place to grow up and thinks it still has unmatched natural beauty enhanced by archi tecture, agriculture and marine structures. De spite all that, she prefers West V irginia's easygoing style. On hospital advertising she writes, "l think my doctors care about me, but I oft en feel like a customer whose satisfaction is no one's primary concern. It motivates me to stay i nformed and prac t i c e good h e a l t h habits." . . . Joan Thiel Hadley says s h e remem bers Maine as Cold! 1 and now thinks of it as Very Cold! ! To underscore her opinion, she has moved to Scottsdale, Ariz. And she has become a grandmother for the first time . . . . Dick Fri ary remembers Maine a a place that combined impoverishment with excess. Currently, he says, "W ith the impending closure of the Hathaway plant m Waterv ille, impoverishment seems en trenched. So does excess, which any issue of Down Ease magazine demonstrates." ( S ince Dick wrote, the Waterville plant appears to have been bailed out. ) Dick' big news is the publica tion of his first book, Skate Sailing, by Masters Press of Indianapolis . . . . Lois Lyman is "still workmg for Digital Equipment, having survived seven year of layoffs, including three really breathtaking leaps to another group. . . . I 've learned a lot of new skills in the process! " Of Maine she writes, "I 've alway been blindly in love with the state of Maine. It has always had a poverty/wealth division and an insider/out siderdivis1on and some narrow minds-but more integrity than most places." She and Ross are building a retirement home there, and she has learned how to t i l e floors, a mong other thing . . . . The College has sent me notices that Paul Tessier was elected to the Maine State Legislature, Disrnct 1 0 1 , and won in a recount by five votes . . . . Doris Keams Goodwin re-

Colleen Khoury is co chairwoman of the Maine Commission on Gen der, J ustice and the Courts . . . . Skip Thayer reports gaining enioriry in the NHL Athletic Training Society and losing weight ! On Mame, he says, "I have always loved my native state, and always look forward to returning to visit fami ly . " He thinks hospital advertising falls mainly on deaf ears-that the healthy don't think about it . . . . Joan Phillipps Thompson likes the Raritan ad because it stars her niece, Blanchard Ryan, daughter of Brenda Phil lips '62. She is gaining weight, humility, happiness and patience while losing the black and white perspective on things, a few memory cells and oh no!-her inging voice . . . . Peter Whalley has a daughter at Colby and comments, "Very nice place." He says life is easier now: "Now the rest of the world can focus on the big events. I focus on my events." H is perception of Maine when we graduated: "slow, poor, uneducated, cars left in people's yards, but n ice people and beautiful scenery." Now he says, "Even nicer people, beautiful scenery, cold weather, more people moving up there to get away. N ice place, except for the logging." On hospital advertising, he asks, "Why not ? Lawyers and colleges do 1 At least people w i ll know where the hospital is ! " . . . Sue Woodward reports, "life j ust keeps getting better! I 've been a realtor for 1 1 years relocated to North Carolina from Massachu setts in '90 and love it. Real estate steals whatever you let it of your life, but I find time to paint and do pottery. Went ro Meredith College part time for three years-am omewhere in my senior year and may finally graduate around 2000. College is better at this age-wish I could go more!"

In Search of . . . Colby Alumni Since graduating, you may have tried to get in touch with an old classmate only to find that the last address or phone number you had in your telephone directory was outdated. Well, your troubles are over. Soon an impressive directory of Colby alumni will be available to help you locate all your old friends. The new 1 998 alumni directory, scheduled for release in January, will be the most up-to-date and complete reference ever compiled, with more than 20,000 Colby alumni. This comprehensive volume will include current name as well as name when a student ( if applicable ) , class year, address and phone number, plus business informa tion and more-all bound into a classic, library-quality volume. The Alumni Office has contracted with Bernard C. Harri Publishing Company to produce the directory, and the company will soon begin researching and compiling data by mailing a questionnaire to each alumnus and alumna. If you prefer not to be listed, please contact the Alumni Office in writing as soon as possible. The new 1 998 alumni directory will make finding an alum as easy as opening a book. Look for more details on the project in future issues of Colby magazine and in your mailbox.
