Even t hough ome of us thought a cruise miss i le m ight be the only cure for the unpopulari ty of Dana Hall, this year's amazing renovations have moved the dorm near the top of the student l ist of good places to l ive. Underclass re idents who endured the noise and dirt of construction last year were given first pick in the new space this year. Through Hikers

Earl Shaffer, the first to document a "through" hike of the Appalachian Trail in 1 948, made a 50th anniversary trip this summer. At age 79, the much-revered hiker ascended trail-end Mount Katahadin in early October and gave exclu i e fi lm rights to his climb to two well-known Colby filmmakers, Abbott Meader (emeritus, art) and Jim "Huey" Coleman '70.

irst of al I, in a burst of uncharacteristic humi I ity, let me confess that I did not aspire to share these words with the learned body

of Colby alumni. The genesis of this article was a speech to some of the best and brightest students at Colby, the Dana and Bixler Scholars-an audience willing to show up on a Friday night in October to hear me do something besides read ghost stories. My title for that speech was "The Literary Canon and How It Works"; it should have been"Literary Canons and How They Work." In 1999, I think that most of us will agree that we have no unique literary canon that all readers in the world understand as absolute, transcendent and beyond debate. Thus, I should more accurately speak of canons, except that when I mentioned this plural title to one of my more literal students, he asked how I got interested in artillery. The canons under scrutiny here have only one n and require no ammunition, though they are tended by a very expert yet jealou·ly exclu�ive cadre of "operator ." These operators range from countle

Canoni zation is a d icey busi ness. J ust ask the folks at Random H o use, whose M odern L i brary 1 0 0 last summer i nflamed the passions of readers who d i s l i ked many of its cho ices and wondered at the temerity of even attempting to sel ect a " best" book. U n deterred by the controversy, or perhaps emboldened by it, the L ibrary Journal recently developed a l i st of its own by ask i n g l i brarians across the country to we igh in with the i r selections. The result was a top 100 dramati cal ly d i fferent from the M odern L i b rary com p i l ation. O n ly 38 books appear on both l i sts. The hig hest-rated book from the combi ned l ists is The Great Gatsby . Four of the top five and 11 of the top 2 0 in the L ibrary Journal l i st do not appear on the Modern L i brary l i st. S i x of the Modern L i b rary's top 20 failed to make the LJ 1 0 0 . T here was a t least o n e b o o k about which t h e l i st-makers agreed. H e m i ngway's The Sun Also Rises is n u mber 4 5 on both l i sts. The M odern L i brary Top 1 0 0 is pri nted below. Bold-faced titles are those that also appear in the L ibrary Journal l i st.

Clas.5 of 201 5 . . . . Peter Golden, long a successful casting director, is now head of talent and casting at CBS Entertainment, according to a newspaper re port sent to me by my busy research department. (Although I just learned of it, this is not breaking news; Peter's been in the job for a couple of years.) otwithstanding the fact that the file photo makes Peter look more than a lirtle like Ron Silver (you know, the one always cast as cruelly manipulative), the article has some interesting tidbits. I'll skip the commentary on particular CBS shows and Peter's role in helping CBS "rebound." The fun stuff is about Peter taking Bill Cosby's call about casting Sonia Braga in his show--0r his picking out a young Tom Cruise for stardom but underestimating George Clooney's prospects. The piece ends with Peter's timeless advice: "lf you're an actor, the best thing to do IS be honest. Everybody across the board responds to honesty in a performance." I guess we know why Peter didn't go into politics . . . . Steve Kirstein has recently moved to the tony consulting shop Pamer River, whose own marketing describes it as providing "Enterprise Marketing Solutions" from strategy to execution. The fact that MCI is a client gave me an opportunity to break fast with Steve a little while back at the Ric Carlton in Pentagon City, Va. (site of Marv Albert's most publicized misadventures). Befimng hIS new role as wise (i.e., expensive) coun sel, Ste\·e IS now sporting a goatee that conve) a decidedly more senous tone than I am used to seeing on lus otherwise boyish visage. Steve still manages to party with the Barney crowd, though, recently artend mg the buthday party of 2-year-old Rob Leary Ill, son of ATO-brother Rob Leary ' 2. The party-goers in cluded more of the old ATO crowd, notably Rick Manley ' 3 (and lus wife, Debbie Fanton ' 3) and Chru Schmidt ' 3. On a more serious note, I also learned from te\·e that he and lus wife are separating, amicably, and \\'tlld1vorce w1thm the year.

February 8, 1 998. She is survived by her husband, Henry, her parents, her sister, Stacy, and her nephew. Upon graduation from Colby, Lisa re turned to her home in New York City, where she achieved success in the travel industry, organizing corporate conferences and travel principally to Brazil. Lisa's success was due in no small measure to her natural hospitality, warmth and generos ity, which attracted many people to her, friends and business associates alike. Lisa was a fun and happy person, as many of her Colby friends will remember. Throughout her life and even during her illness, Lisa's positive outlook and determi nation gave strength to others. She found humor and irony in her illness, making us laugh with her in spite of ourselves, in many ways shielding us from the gravity of her struggle. In fact, news of Lisa's death came as a shock to all but her nearest friends and family. Leslie Mitchell '80 eulogized Lisa by reading a composite of remarks made by many of Lisa's closest friends. It is rare accom plishment for a person to be seen in the same way by so many people as was Lisa-kind and gentle, caring and fun. Among the many, many people who attended her memorial service were veri table strangers whose lives she had touched. Alongside family and friends were people who commuted occasionally with Lisa. Whether dear friend or mere acquaintance, we will all remem ber Lisa in much the same way, because her gentleness and concern were so consistently genu ine and she graced us all with it in equal measure. Lisa will be lovingly remembered and missed enormously. A memorial fund is being estab lished in Lisa's memory; details will soon be available.

Denise Glennon sent me a wonderful picture of her family: Denise, husband Gary Haubold and daughter Lucy Yan Haubold. Denise and Gary spent 1 2 days in Guandong Provmce, China, this past May, where they met their new daughter, Lucy, born June 2, 1 99 7 . She i s , they report, beautiful, smart and truly a ioy! I love the picture. Thanks, Denise! . . . I'm short on news after sending out the newsletter to everyone, but I hope to be hearing from more of you soon !

There was a small-but entl1Usiastic group of 1 983ers at our 1 5th reunion in June on the ever-changmg, beautiful Colby campu . We ate dmner with and listened to Sandy Maisel on aturday rnght and enioye<l his comparisons of what the Echo saw m 1 983 with what it sees today m campus livmg. Our class thanked out gomg pre>i<lent Anne Geagan McGrath and ourgorng vice president Scott Russell. We rhanke<l Duncan Gibson for h1 willmgness to 'er\'e as our new class agent. We elected Raymond "Chip" and Martha Driscoll Kelley a' co-pre'1<lents and Valerie Spencer Poulos as nee pre'1dent and decided that I, Sally Lovegren Merchant, should stay on, perhaps forever, or

fo r a third five-year term a s secretary/treasurer. ( Let me state at the outset that due to much pressure from you guys, my family is finally on-line and my new e-mail address was installed minutes after arriving home from Colby. Now, you had all better use salmerchant@acadia.net often! ) In attendance at reunion were Ruth and Steve Finch, Duncan Gibson, Michaela Sullivan Hayes, Heidi Henderson, Nancy Pratt Hurley, Barbara Leonard and Dan Marra, Joyce and Paul Lezberg, Kevin and Anne McGrath, Nancy McNamara Neenan, John Northrop, Arthur '86 and Valerie Spencer Poulos, Mark and Mike Schafer, Eric '8 1 and Lynette Horne Stinneford, Diana and Jonathan Taylor, Jennifer Thayer, Gary '82 and Anne Edwards Westerman and Steve and Beth Parrent Boucher. From the College, Meg Bernier '8 1 and Paul Berube '00 were our hosts. Many children were in atten dance: my two boys, Heidi Henderson's baby girl, Kevin and Anne McGrath's new baby boy, Arthur and Valerie's three kids, Lynette and Eric's children, Diana and Jonathan's boys and Gary and Anne's family. Please, everyone, plan to attend our 20th ! If you have ideas, why not send them to me now? The sooner we plan, the easier, more successful and enjoyable our re union will be . . . . I recently heard from Terri Lewis Clevenger, who lives with husband John ' 8 1 and children Caitlin, 7, and Drew, 5, in Weston, Conn. Terri's address in Weston is new in the past year, and the family is working on their new house. John is a management consult ant and Terri is self-employed as TLC Healthcare Communications. l simply loved the photo Terri sent of her kids and Dede Arruda Perkins's girls, Caitlin and Carly. Terri said that she sees the Perkinses as well a Beth Coates Bunting's and Pajes Merriman Sterman's families yearly as they get together on Bromley Mountain in Maine . . . . From Cumberland Foreside, Maine, Jeffrey and Abby King Diggins wrote of the birth ofbaby son Jack in March 1 998. Abby works as an attorney in Portland at LeBlanc & Young. Congrats on the new family addition, Abby . . . . "Read The Perfect Swrm" is a direct quote from Jennifer Beever. Of course she speaks of the book chronicled in the winter 1 998 Colby magazine about our own Linda Greenlaw. Jennifer is a marketing consultant who just started her own marketing/PA firm called On the Mark. She has enjoyed the experience and loves the work. Jennifer sounds great and is living in Canoga Park, Calif. . . . Around town, I spoke recently to Janet Deering Bruen '79 in Falmouth and al ways love that conversation: never long enough. I saw Carol Eisenberg '85 on Peaks Island in June with her two children as I was visiting with my boys. If we're not at Miguel's, Wayne and I eat in the summer in Bar Harbor at 1 24 Cottage Street, the restaurant owned by Penelope and Ed Ciampa '77. Also here on Mount Desert, Rev. Charlene Alling '68 baptised our boys this year m her now not-so-new position as reverend at St. Mary's/St.Jude's Episcopal Church in Northeast Harbor. I have greatly enjoyed Rev.
