Dear Gould, When Dee and I sat in the admissions office of Gould in 2011, we never thought it was possible that we could somehow manage to get Skye into Gould, and, more importantly, keep her enrolled for four years. We looked at each other and decided in that moment that we would do whatever it took to do just that. Skye had the drive and the desire, and we were going to do everything in our power to try and make it happen. Months later, we walked through the doors for orientation. What we asked of Skye was that she just do her best. Since then, she’s gone to China and Spain; she’s slept in the wilderness for a week in sub-zero temperatures; and she’s made a difference by volunteering and through service to others. She’s spent thousands of hours studying things I know little about, and she desired to learn more. Her genuine passion for learning increased by the day. Her typical school day began at 7:30 a.m. and ended somewhere between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., often later. She then had hours of homework and usually was the first one up and ready for school the next day. For four years, we struggled to get by, drove each other crazy in the mornings as we bombed out of the driveway, and argued about what time (and where) we were actually picking her up at night: “Out front? Out back? Gerhing? Ordway? The Flag Pole? Come on honey! We’re out front! Let’s go!” For four years, we also laughed, and smiled, and enjoyed her triumphs. As Skye walked across the commencement stage, I looked at my wife and had a warm feeling of accomplishment. I looked at [Skye’s sister] Autumn and the boys and the sense of pride they shared for their sister, and I looked at Skye’s smile, sitting there among her classmates with anticipation and pride and distinction, and felt overwhelmed by a sense of pride – not in her being my daughter, but in me being her dad. This young lady didn’t have anything given to her and she had faced hardship and challenges. She paid for part of her tuition, as we tried to keep a family of six (now seven) above water and she knew of the sacrifices we’d made. I could not be more proud of Skye and the woman she’s grown into. It took a family to make this happen, and as we look ahead, we’re ready for more challenges and more adventures. Sincerely, Ron & Dee Fournier P ’15

Camden Conference Essay Winners Congratulations are in order for Gould Valedictorian Pratt Olson ’15 and Salutatorian William Kannegieser ’15 who came in first and second place, respectively, in the Camden Conference’s first-ever high school student essay contest, held this past summer. Both students worked with Dr. Brad Clarke prior to graduating to form their essays on the topic of Russia. Pratt’s essay was entitled, “Staring into the Eyes of the Bear,” Will’s was entitled, “The Lone Bear No Longer: Russia Today and its Future Role in International Relations.” The Camden Conference was founded in 1987 as a nonprofit, nonpartisan educational organization whose mission is to foster informed discourse on world issues. This year’s essay contest was part of a special program for seven Maine high schools called “Camden Conference in the Classroom.” Pratt will attend Middlebury College this spring, Will will attend Williams College.
Twice as Nice This year’s TedxDirigo – an independently organized TED event in Portland, Maine – featured not one Gould Academy presenter, but two! Christopher Poulos ’01, a legal fellow at the Sentencing Project in Washington D.C. and an emerging leader in criminal justice policy reform both locally and nationally, spoke to his own past professional and personal obstacles – including addiction – and how he now dedicates his life to helping others overcome or avoid similar challenges. Current student Demetri Maxim ’16, fresh off a category win at the 2015 INTEL International Science and Engineering Fair and a summer internship at the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, spoke to the scientific research he’s done to create one patent-pending device, as well as a scientific method he developed that grows human kidney tissue from skin cells in an effort to eliminate the need for kidney transplants altogether. This year’s event took place November 7 at the Circus Conservatory of America at Thompson’s Point (tedxdirigo.com).

Music to Our Ears A standing ovation is in order for Gorsev Tepe ’18 who received the 2nd prize in her age division (musicians up to age 16) at the 11th Annual LISMA International Music Competition, held August 20-22, 2015, at the Long Island Conservatory, Albertson, NY (licm.edu). Bravo!
Alumnae Elizabeth McLellan ’69 to Speak at 2016 Commencement Elizabeth McLellan ’69 – founder of the Portland, Maine-based Partners for World Health and highlighted in the Spring 2015 GAzette – will give the commencement address to the graduating Class of 2016 on Saturday, June 4 at 10:30 a.m. McLellan follows a long line of distinguished commencement speakers including last year’s, inaugural poet Richard Blanco. A longtime volunteer with the Maine Historical Society, the MS Society, Portland Ovations and PortOpera, the World Affairs Council of Maine, Bowdoin International Music Festival, Learning Works, and the Portland Museum of Art, McLellan says of her work: “If you have an idea, do it. Don’t look back. This is my philosophy. You’re going to come into a lot of bumps and a lot of mountains along the way. Just walk straight down the road. If you believe in what you want to do – do it. Keep going forward. People will come and help you because they want to be a part of what you’re doing. Eventually, it will all unfold.”
Spring Sports in Review It was a big spring for the Gould Huskies. Girls’ Softball and Boys’ Baseball each took home MAISAD Championship trophies; Gould Cycling brought home the NEPSAC title; and Gould Skateboard Program athletes made numerous podiums at comps throughout the state. Additionally, Varsity Girls’ Lacrosse Team Captain, Julia Getman ’16, became Gould’s first female ever selected to play on the Maine Girl’s Lacrosse Team at the U.S. Lacrosse Women’s National Tournament in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
From the Head I spend a lot of time thinking about the mission of our school: Gould Academy prepares academically motivated students for college and helps them to become independent-minded, ethical citizens who will lead lives of purpose, action, excellence, and compassion in a dynamic world. What I’m struck by most are the words and phrases not often seen in the mission statements of other schools: compassion, ethical citizens, purpose. These words not only guide us, but define us. Generation after generation, individual by individual, we are quick to act, eager to help, and longing to make a difference. This is evidenced by our caring community members who are at this very moment helping, influencing, and guiding our students; by those alumni profiled in this issue, and those working and living around the world; by the long list of donors who contributed to The Gould Fund and enabled our school to move forward with confidence; and by you. It’s through this vast network that I’ve witnessed firsthand our culture of giving and our aptitude for it. We are compassionate, ethical citizens, with a sense and understanding of purpose. In the coming pages you will read about alumni who understand the importance of giving and service, and who continue to live our mission in their day to day lives. Before expanding on these shining stars, I want to introduce you to our new campaign for Gould Academy, appropriately named GouldNow. In the coming months, you will hear more about this three-year major gift initiative to raise $5 million dollars inclusive of our yearly Gould Fund goals. What’s important to understand about GouldNow is that its purpose is guided by our mission – by the vision of our school becoming a destination for the most innovative and challenging academic, artistic, and athletic programing, while also known for relationships that foster resilience, achievement, and creativity. GouldNow will invest in and creatively leverage assets and opportunities now, while maximizing the efficient use of resources. Simply put, GouldNow puts our mission into action, in the now, in addition to securing future success through the Gould Fund. At Gould we’ve built an experience unlike any other through our community of doers and innovators, through signature programs like Four Point and On Snow, through new initiatives like our partnership with the Manhattan School of Music, and the completion of a vital new academic and social hub, The Marlon Family IDEAS Center. GouldNow will further develop these programs and relationships that drive student experience, by investing in the sustainability and livability experienced by those living closest to it – our students and faculty. Thinking about where we are, where we aim to go, and reading the stories of so many wonderful alumni inevitably makes me feel grateful to be a part of this school, grateful for the students who give this place life, grateful to the generations of educators who built this community, and grateful to those who, through their generosity, have built our buildings, supported our programs, and funded scholarships that create access to the Gould experience. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this amazing community. I’m as excited to be here now as I am to be a part of its future. Most Sincerely,

A talk with Karen Gidley Mulvaney ’72 By Kim Siebert MacPhail ’73
& the Greater Good: If she was the bragging type, Karen Gidley Mulvaney ’72 would have a lot of material to work with: 2011 recipient of the Lafayette, California Citizen of the Year award; founder of the Lafayette Library and Learning Center’s Distinguished Speaker series; benefactor of the Mulvaney Family Head, Heart and Hands Endowment Fund for service learning at St. Mary’s College (CA), as well as a similar program at the University of San Diego; supporter of Youth Homes, Inc., assisting at-risk foster children; fundraiser and advocate for local public schools and former board member of the Lafayette Co-op Nursery School; noted contributor to BlinkNow’s Kopila School in Nepal... And that’s an abbreviated list.
But, instead of self-congratulation, Mulvaney deftly deflects praise. She’d much rather talk about big philosophical themes like community, engagement, resilience, and philanthropy. It is in these discussions that the foundation of her worldview emerges.
One prime example was Louis Zamperini—the subject of Laura Hillenbrand’s bestseller Unbroken. After finishing the book, Mulvaney felt compelled to meet Zamperini, so she tracked down his phone number and later sponsored a sold-out library event in his honor.
The concept of a greater good was a seed first planted by Mulvaney’s parents, who were actively involved in their Connecticut town. During adolescence, those values were again nurtured within Gould’s intimate community and later expanded with the collaboration of likeminded partner, husband Tom.
“My own father had died just a few months prior to my reading the book,” Mulvaney explains. “Like Louis, he too was also a WWII pilot, shot down, evaded capture, then discovered and held prisoner until war’s end… I was 100 percent swept up in the story of Louie’s life. It was the embodiment of every kind of struggle. The book—and that amazing man—changed my life, and thousands and thousands of others’ lives, too.”
Mulvaney adds that it’s important to break free from the notion of separate-ness. “We’re really more alike than we are different,” she says. “We’ve made life seem so complicated. It’s simple: being connected in your community— where you have a fabric that holds you together with others. Of course! It’s obvious!”
Whatever I put my heart into becomes something I talk about because I care about it… We can all give.
Thinking about her high school years and how the power of connection was part of the Gould experience, Mulvaney remembers, “We all relied on each other. The ’70s were so turbulent. I learned at Gould that there are people who will keep you safe. People do better when they’re known. And being known—feeling like you belong— creates a sense of responsibility to live up to something.” Turning the subject to individuals who transform lives, Mulvaney says she is most drawn to those who exemplify determination and resilience. “There are so many stories of intersection with fascinating people we’ve met through working in the community and supporting organizations Tom and I believe in,” Mulvaney says. Relationships forged through their philanthropic work, she reflects, have “opened doors in ways I could not imagine and led to deep, lasting, enriching friendships with change-making people.”
Another person Mulvaney admires is Maggie Doyne of BlinkNow, who, at age 18, took a gap year between high school and college to travel, landed in India, and ultimately trekked to Nepal to first adopt, and then educate, orphaned children. Now, at age 28, Doyne is legal parent to 51 children, director of the Kopila Valley Children’s Home and a 350-student school, and founder of a new women’s center.
When Mulvaney and her husband traveled to Nepal to see Doyne’s work in action, they returned deeply changed by the experience. “There’s no question Maggie has saved the lives of these beautiful at-risk children and also resurrected and transformed the lives of mothers and women in the village community,” she says. “What could be better than that?” When asked how she encourages others to join the causes she holds dear, Mulvaney says, “I think I bring upbeat and positive things to my work. The small things along the way add up. You think you’re not making a difference, but it turns out that you are, if you step out, get engaged where you live, and do something that means a lot to you.” “Whatever I put my heart into becomes something I talk about because I care about it… We can all give. Giving something is so much more powerful than giving nothing. We feel better; we’re happier when we’re rooted to something larger than ourselves. There’s no loser in giving. Everybody wins. Everybody’s lifted.”

“It begins in the family, then your town and your state and your country, then out into the world,” Mulvaney says. “Why else are we here, if not to connect and do something that matters? When you don’t connect… well, that’s how people get lost. Isolation is the worst thing for a human being.”
THE
IMPORTANCE OF GIVING: A talk with brother and sister Lucas St. Clair ’96 and Hannah Quimby ’96 By Kim Siebert MacPhail ’73
Growing up in rural Maine in what they termed “very alternative” circumstances, twin siblings Lucas St. Clair ’96 and Hannah Quimby ’96 had neither the opportunity to volunteer nor the resources with which to be philanthropic. “We were just trying to get by,” St. Clair explained. Nonetheless, the values and spirit of giving were always present in their family’s culture, as was the importance of not taking more than you need. Today, those values remain firmly at the base of the work they do: St. Clair is the President of Eliottsville Plantation, Inc.—a nonprofit behind the 150,000acre Katahdin Woods and Waters public recreation and national park project—and Quimby is the Director of the Quimby Family Foundation that supports environmental, healthy living, and arts projects, almost entirely within the state of Maine. Quimby recounted, “Our parents ended up in central Maine because land was affordable and they wanted a good place to raise a family. They were part of the back-to-the-land movement, inspired by Scott and Helen Nearings’ story. They bought 50 acres and built a little cabin and for the first five years of our lives, we lived in that cabin. Then, we lived in a tent for a year, we lived in a trailer, we lived in a schoolhouse, we lived in a van. My mother got electricity and running water when we were in the 8th grade, right before we moved out [to go away to school].” St. Clair added, “Resource management in our household was really something that rose to the top: how much we used, how much we consumed. Mom was against using things made out of plastic. Dad was always saying, ’Turn off the water! Figure out what you want and close the refrigerator door! Turn the lights off !’”

In those days, their father worked as a DJ for a local radio station and their mother, Roxanne Quimby, was an artist and a waitress. One day, Roxanne met the now-famed Burt Shavitz while hitchhiking. Through that association, she learned how to make soaps and candles from beeswax, selling the products at crafts fairs. Eventually, the company Burt’s Bees was formed, operated independently, and then sold. With the
proceeds, Eliottsville Plantation, Inc. and the Quimby Family Foundation were established. “There was never a question of anything else that would be done with the money, except being used to establish foundations,” Hannah Quimby said. Connecting the dots between early life and the work he does now, St. Clair said that growing up in the country and going to Gould cemented his abiding love of the natural world. “A lot of my interest in philanthropy came through the outdoors, although it’s gone beyond that now. There was so much emphasis at Gould on the ’outdoors-as-classroom’. Lorenzo Baker and Bill Clough were my mentors all through high school and I spent so much time in the woods with those guys. It was all about having places to do these activities, to conserve them, to become someone who advocated for these places.” Similarly, Hannah’s deep appreciation for the wilderness feeds into the work she does, forming the basis—along with support for the arts and healthful living through sustainable agriculture—of the Quimby Foundation. “The Quimby Foundation is still a work in progress,” said St. Clair, who serves on the board. “We all have different interests and are drawn to different aspects, so we’ve really started to think how the three of us—our mother, Hannah, and I—can have our own philanthropic leadership.” Quimby added, “While we do have our own personal passions, I feel really fortunate that our interests are fairly aligned. Our mom lets us run with our passions. [In family foundations] this can be rare.” The challenge that many nonprofits face—fundraising—is not one shared by the privately-seeded Quimby Foundation and Eliottsville Plantation. However, Quimby and St. Clair both serve on other philanthropic boards—such as the Maine Island Trail Association, Maine Conservation Voters, and West Coast-based groups Earth Island Institute and Outdoors Empowered—that allow them to see the nonprofit world from a fundraising angle.
Quimby concluded, “There is a sense of satisfaction in feeling like you can actually make a difference. There’s also an inherent obligation—although ’obligation’ has negative connotations. But if you have all that you need, you just should. Whatever you’re passionate about, it’s important to give back.” 9

“For these other boards, it’s how we are able to pay for what we do,” St. Clair said. “At times, I put on the fundraising hat and ask friends, family, and new people I meet to join me in helping these organizations. It’s really important to my wife and me that our children see us volunteering and giving our time—not just our resources—to stand up for causes we believe in.”
Giving and Making a Difference: A talk with faculty member Becky Andreozzi and Skye Fournier ’15 By Casey Butler Gould’s Associate Director of Admissions Becky Andreozzi is warm, articulate, and innately maternal. With four children and two grandchildren of her own, she’s well practiced in the art of caring for others, but Becky also possesses a grander sense of compassion, clearly evident to all who know her. It’s irrepressible, actually. More like a compulsion. She needs to make our lives—your life—better. “I guess I feel really strongly that it’s human being to human being; if we don’t all try to take care of each other, then it’s not going to work,” she says.

Which is how she ended up working with Gould’s “oncampus” service organization, REACH OUT. Despite its local designation, REACH OUT has impacted people as far away as Guatemala. Becky’s background is in special education and private tutoring, and it was thanks to a particularly smitten family that she ended up at Gould. The parents of four dyslexic children, who happened to ski at Sunday River, suggested to Gould’s then-Director of Admissions that they hire her to work with the Academic Skills Program. There were no positions available with ASP at the time, however, so Becky interviewed for an opening in Admissions. “I hadn’t necessarily worked in an admissions office, but I consulted with them at [my previous] school,” she says. “If they had students who came in with different learning profiles, I was asked to review them and see if our programming would meet their needs. I came up [to Gould] for a visit, to see if I was even interested, and I’ll never forget it. I met [Associate Head of School] Pat Donovan P ’01, ’02, ’05, ’08, a member of the board, some students, took a tour… I drove away thinking, ’I would really like that job.’” Gould is that kind of place. You set foot on campus and fall in love—with its New England quaintness meets Maine earthiness, its witty and devoted faculty, and its students. Even at a glance, you can

Becky is now in her eighth year with the Admissions Office and last year, she moved into Gehring Hall. Most 59-year-olds couldn’t fathom living with six dozen teenage girls, but Becky finds that it keeps her connected, which ultimately helps her better do her job: “When I talk to families, it’s first-hand,” she says.
the GAzette
12
First-hand experience is important at Gould, because we learn through experience. Part of the school’s mission is to help students become ethical citizens who will lead lives of compassion. As a former REACH OUT advisor and forever champion of the underprivileged, Becky plays an integral role in advancing that mission. “I just feel very, very strongly that the kids need to understand what it feels like to give back,”
Becky says. “I constantly tell them, ’Everybody has a different [cause] that they donate to. This is a great time in your life to feel that out and see where your passions might lie. I don’t care what you do, just find a nonprofit that you want to support, something that you really feel connected to.’” She herself is on the board of the Maine Women’s Fund, which strives to correct social injustices toward women, and works with Safe Passage, a Maine-based nonprofit that supports children who live in poverty near Guatemala City’s garbage dump, the largest landfill in Central America. She also works with the Wayfinder Schools on a program called Passages that assists young mothers in pursuing their educations and dreams. “These young women were told that they couldn’t complete their educations, which is crazy,” she says. “Being involved in this program, they go on to be nurses and auto mechanics, and it’s just incredible. There are a lot of incredibly talented young women in this state who—if they don’t get a really good secondary education that opens their eyes to what’s available out there—end up not being very ambitious, and that’s too bad.”
Skye Fournier ’15 is petite with swaying, umber
locks and large, searching blue eyes. Those eyes are likely the first thing you’ll notice about her: When Skye looks at you, it feels like she’s seeing straight to your soul and accepting whatever it is that she finds there. Growing up in Bethel, she watched her mother volunteer with a soup kitchen on an almost daily basis. “I saw how important it was for her to help people and how it made her feel, and I wanted to do the same thing,” she says. “It’s just really humbling. I feel extremely grateful for the things that I have and extremely fortunate that I am in a position from which I can help people, and it makes me want to help as many people, as much as I can.” Skye and Becky became close while working with REACH OUT. Now, the pair share a connection that more closely resembles a mother and daughter than a teacher and student. Skye admires Becky’s passion for her work both at Gould and with organizations like Safe Passage, and she’s been inspired by the way the two coexist. “There are a lot of things that she has exposed both the Gould community and myself to, because of how passionate she is about helping other people,” Skye says. Four years ago, Becky actually interviewed a very nervous Skye during her application process, during which time Skye kept asking to have the questions repeated. “One of the questions I ask is, ’What are your dreams? What are you passions? What would you like to do some day?’” Becky says. Skye had heard from friends that this was one of Becky’s questions and had no idea how to answer it, so she went online and found a college

While she still loves cuisine, in her four years at Gould, Skye “explored other interests and expanded what she’s capable of,” Becky explains. “When I think about her sitting in my office in the ninth grade… [Now], she has a presence about her. She’s very articulate. She doesn’t ask to have questions repeated anymore. [Laughs.] It’s really cool to watch.” As Becky says, Skye is an example of someone who took full advantage of the entire Gould experience: relationships, academics, and other opportunities. “She set some goals for herself and she took off with them,” Becky says. “I mean, shoot, she’s going to Boston College. It’s awesome. And this is the tip of the iceberg. Her world is just starting to unfold. I think that she is the perfect example of living a life of passion— passion’s important; it drives you. And she’s got it.” Last autumn, Skye became involved with Warm Winters, a youth-driven international nonprofit that provides warm clothing to the homeless. She managed the organization’s lost and found donation program at nearby Sunday River and was named a member of their Youth Advisory Board. She oversaw the collection of more than 1,000 articles of clothing. While Skye is in Boston, her mom and younger brother will be overseeing Warm Winters at Sunday River so that she can focus on her courses—many of which are part of BC’s PULSE (service learning) program. “A lot of them touch upon social injustice, why people do help others and why people don’t, and what we can do,” she says. Skye has applied to the International Studies program so that she can concentrate on global development. “I eventually want to work with kids in third-
world countries or developing countries, in the global education sector. I just want to help kids,” she says. She doesn’t really have a backup plan; she sees what she wants and she’s going for it, which is behavior that Gould both values and encourages. “We connect with kids [and] we help them to see that you can have passions, you can pursue them, and it’s okay to be who you are,” Becky says. “Dave Bean P ’17, ’19 working with the food pantry? That’s huge. Sara Shifrin ’88 P ’19 taking kids to Tanzania and working on a school. I think that when students see that we’re doing these kinds of things, [it inspires them]. They go down to the Preble Street Soup Kitchen [in Portland, Maine] and they see 300 people come in who need meals. Our kids don’t worry about their meals; they come out of the kitchen every day—breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s that process of just starting to open their eyes and making them realize that there are people who need help.” Skye says that the Gould community is highly susceptible to enthusiasm. It only takes a handful of impassioned people to rally the entire school—if the cause is worthy—and the thing is, there is no shortage of spirit around here. Last year, Gould collected over 108,000 pounds of food to win the WGME/ FOX23-TV and Good Shepherd Food Bank School Spirit Challenge and in doing so set a new record. “Just being able to watch myself and a small group of other people activate 300-plus students, teachers, and members of the community was like, ’This is cool,’” Skye says. “So I think being able to see how a few people can motivate or help an entire group of people to do something emboldens us. And it doesn’t take many people to make that happen.” “I think so often, you can get into a rut of saying, ’I can’t make a difference,’” Becky says. “And the bottom line is, you really can.”

Class Notes 1941
Last spring, the Alumni Office helped reunite Suzy Washburn ’41 and Muriel “Muff” Gorrie ’41 by way of Ms. Gorrie’s great second newphew in Canada.
1947 Class Correspondent: Hon. Roberta “Bobbi” C. Pevear Hon. Roberta “Bobbi” C. Pevear is a former New Hampshire State Representative and author of Write Quick: War and A Woman’s Life in Letters 1835-1867. She has enlisted the help of Senator Nancy Stiles to pass Bill SB195 into law. SB195 ensures the continuation of instruction in cursive handwriting and the memorization of multiplication tables in schools. Bobbi is also a spokesperson for RiverWoods, a nonprofit continuing care retirement community in Exeter, New Hampshire. Wayne R. Allen: My wife, Helaine, passed away January 22, 2014. I miss her very much. I am still involved with my brother, Kermit P. Allen ’45, in our blueberry processing business. My daughters are very helpful and take great care of me. I suffer from Parkinson’s, so my ability to get around has been limited. I just had my 85th birthday on April 4, 2015. Best to all.

Isabelle J. Bennett: My big move came in the past year. After 40+ years of living in Massachusetts, I sold my condo in Lexington and moved to a senior housing community, Schooner Estates, in Auburn, Maine. There are quite a few alums from Gould living here.
Mary J. Perkins DeWolfe: I spent the winter in the Southwest avoiding ice and snow! The folks there were as warm as the climate! Now looking for renters for my lakeside cabin. Randall C. Foster: Still getting out and around, and had my driver’s license renewed, so I guess I’m set for another four years. I was up in the Bethel area last summer—the school still looks great. This winter reminded me of our days there, with the snow up to the telephone lines by the athletic field. Jack Hawley: Every year, I spend May through mid-October with my wife, Linda, at our camp on Kezar Lake in Lovell, Maine, and the balance of the year at our home in Ft. Myers, Florida. Maine summers at Kezar with visiting family are the highlight of our life. Florida is a pleasant respite from Maine’s harsh winters, with lots of golf. We are both avid golfers. Last August, we celebrated 25 years of “wedded bliss.” Nina Pierce Hayes: We will be married 68 years in December. Still active and enjoying family reunions. Suzanne C. Joy: Robert A. Joy passed away September 23, 2013 after a brief illness. He and I attended two class reunions and I met several classmates. I send them my best wishes. Mary Plumer Robinson: After graduating, I attended St. Lawrence University in New York, graduating with a BS in math. I worked in New York City for Metroplitan Life. I married Palmer Robinson in 1952, moved to Southern California in 1957, and raised three girls. I worked at various firms in the financial field, retiring from Pacific Lodge Boys’
Class of 1957
Home in Woodland Hills, California in 1996. I sang in church choirs all of my married life, and with a community master chorale for 25 years. My other main hobby is quilting, which I started when I retired. I was treasurer of the local quilt guild for six years, and editor of their newsletter for four. I moved to a full-service retirement facility, University Village in Thousand Oaks, California, in 2007. My husband passed away in 2011. I keep occupied by serving on several committees, participating in drama club, singing in our Village Singers group, and taking swimming and exercise classes. And, our California weather is the best! A “small world” incident happened when I discovered that a new resident here had also attended Gould: Eileen Linnell Porcaro ’51. We had fun reminiscing. Joyce Chipman Ruddick: I’m living in a retirement community in Wilmington, Delaware. My husband of 62 years just passed away in November. I was able to celebrate Easter with several of my seven children and 11 grandchildren. For fun, I love playing Wii Bowling. Betsy Grandin Wilcox: Paul and I are still managing to get around on our own, though we don’t move as fast or accomplish things as quickly. We are still on Cape Cod, but go to Florida for part of the winter. We volunteer at St. Augustine Light and enjoy the beaches and birdwatching. Our children and grandchildren visit us on Cape Cod and we make as many trips as we can to Maine to see them—and to enjoy Maine, too—it’s better than Cape Cod any day, except for the snow! I think of Gould often—so many things to remember about our good time there.
Chris Willard Bennett, Grace Taylor Douglass, Mary-Alice Hastings Bancroft, and Alberta Merrill met Davene Marble Erickson for lunch at S.S. Milton in downtown Bethel. Davene rented a cottage in Bryant Pond for a week and expected her whole [family] to be there visiting.

Charlotte “Schmuts” (Bidwell) Bacon
Rod Harrington: With a lot of help from the Alumni Relations Office, I mailed out 39 letters to our classmates. The letter to Charlotte Scribner Brien was returned marked deceased and I received an email from Jane Norton with the news that Alfred “Fritz” Norton passed away May 15, 2013. On a good note, Jane Bean Young is no longer missing: She lives nearby [Gould] at an assisted living facility. [As only two] letters were returned, one could conclude that all of the addresses are up-to-date. Thus, we have an opportunity to reconnect with our classmates and make plans to attend our 65th reunion on September 23-25, 2016.
Rev. Bobsy Dudley-Thompson: Clearly, we are all on an aging journey! Part of that is about pain and physical limitation (really, more about new boundaries than limitations.) Both my husband, Val, and I are retired (I hate that word. We are, in fact, tired.) Val has left his work as an Environmental Engineer, and now paddles, rows, and sails the boats he has designed and built. I have left my university teaching career, my psychotherapy and counseling vocation, and most of my preaching stints. I am learning to enjoy a new sense of freedom. Our three children are grown now and doing well. Though they are not Garrison Keiler perfect children, they are plenty good enough. Our two teenaged grandchildren are lovely—beautiful, funny, and smart. I now have the luxury of reflecting on our aging journey: I sense a shift from mindlessness (business and frenetic DOING) to mindfulness (a quieter, deeper, more reflective BEING). Much of this awareness comes naturally as we grow older. We become more mindfully sensitive of all relationships. This is not a new path, but for me, it is a new understanding of one important aspect of our aging journey. Blessings on your aging journey.
1951 Class Correspondent: Alberta Merrill (with support of Rod Harrington ’50) Laura Wilson Messinger and her college friend, Dick Eustis, visited us in late June. We met for lunch at a local restaurant and then spent the afternoon cathing up on all of our classmates. They enjoyed a trip through the Berkshire Mountains in Massachusetts and visited with friends before returning to Orono. Mary-Alice Hastings Bancroft and her husband, Al, recently met with a group of people who own [Ford] Model A trucks and toured the coast of Maine, visiting many lighthouses on their week-long trip. It took Al nearly two years to completely restore the truck. Alberta Merrill and I spent four months in Englewood, Florida this past winter. We spent a few days in the Keys in early February and a week in Kissimmee visiting several tourist attractions. In March, we traveled to Savannah, Georgia to meet with my two grandchildren and three great grandchildren. It was a wonderful reunion.
1958 Class Correspondent: Michael S. Stowell, Sr. James W. Hill passed from this earth on April 20, 2015. He had been an executive with IBM for many years before his retirement. Condolences to his wife, Diane, and children: Kris, Kelly, Derek, David, Brady, James, Jr., and Jeff. Barbara Plummer Godwin: My son Sherman, is in business for himself at Godwin Construction and does work for Buckeye oil company. Brent is in Minnesota, working as head of a
mechanical department, and has obtained his bachelor’s degree. I have retired from the profession that I enjoyed for over 30 years. I had cataract surgery in 2013 that went horribly long and can no longer perform at the level I am proud to have done for so many years. Kaye Blake Blossey and her husband, Otto, are spending another summer in Bethel. They were proud to see their oldest daughter, Justine, complete the 500-mile pilgrimage walk "The Camino de Santiago" across France and Spain in early 2015. Their youngest daughter decided to get married after seeing the world through her flight attendant job for over 25 years. The youngest of their three granddaughters has just completed her internship in conversational English in Cegled, Hungary. Now she will return to her studies at UGA in Athens, Georgia. While in Maine, Kaye’s 95-year-young mother had her 77th high school reunion, Class of 1938. She was the oldest one in attendance at the Woodstock High School Alumni banquet. Norman Buttrick: This past year, I worked with McAuley High School students at a historic site in Portland called the Francis O. J. Smith Mansion. Built in 1837 and demolished in 1887, it became a registered historic site. Along with a teacher at the school, as well as some of my archaeology friends, we had a field school for two history classes, two days a week over a halfyear course. We taught the techniques of archaeology excavation, mapping, cleaning, and identifying artifacts, as well as writing reports. Artifacts found were ceramics from that period, a keyhole, printers’ lead type, machine-cut nails, an iron door hinge, and copper wire from Samuel Morse’s telegraph, which he tested in Baxter Woods at F. O. J. Smith’s estate property. He was a friend of Smith’s at the time. Interesting features included walls of the house and private library, and a trash pit, which had a large number of fragments of ceramics and bottle glass. Michael S. Stowell: To celebrate my wife, Andrea Jean’s, cancer free exam, we flew to Rio de Janeiro, where we rented an apartment on Copacabana Beach for four days. We then flew to Iguaçu (Izuzu) Falls, Argentina (on the border of Brazil) and took three days to explore the falls from both sides: Brazil and Argentina. We then flew to

Grandchild number three arrived in September, so [there have been] two visits to southern Vermont since then. Met three of my four kids in Red Rock Canyon, Utah in April for some rock climbing, hiking, and camping, and did a motorcycle tour of northern California afterward. Looking forward to a "clan gathering" in August in Biddeford. Those expected to attend include my brother, Jeff, and his crew, our mother (Virginia’s 98!), and my crew--over 20 at last count!

We cruised around Horn, up the west coast of South America with many stops and sightseeing along the way: Montevideo and Punta del Este, Uruguay; Puerto Madryn and Ushuaia, Argentina—which is the southernmost city in the world— and Punta Arenas, Chile. We traversed the Straits of Magellan, where we saw great glaciers; went through the Bay of Pain and Sorrow with winds hitting 80 mph; Puerto Montt and Puerto Vargas; Valparaiso and Arica, Chile; Piso, Paracas, and San Martin, Peru; Manta, Ecuador; the Panama Canal; Colon, Panama; Cartagena, Colombia; and on to Fort Lauderdale, Florida for the drive to home after six weeks away. While in Bethel for 10 weeks this summer (2015), we saw many old friends and classmates. On July 30, we hosted a luncheon at S.S. Milton with our classmates Kaye Blake, Betty Lou York, David Head, Sandra Olson, Richard Grover, Tommy Carter, and Mary Luxton. We attended a MiniReunion on August 5 for the class of 1957 and invited guests, hosted by Blaine and Maggie Mills. Many from our class attended, as well.

Patricia Anne Brewster: Sadly, I have to report that my daughter’s five-year battle with cancer is over. She died in June. A melanoma tumor invaded her heart and stopped it. The family’s lives have so concentrated on her for so long, that we are feeling a dramatic change. Someone asked me if things were getting back to
normal. My cousin says that “not-normal” has been our normal for so long, it will be a while before we find our new normal. We are missing her, of course, but happy that the struggle is over for her. I spent a lot of time with her this year. I had only been home three weeks when she died quite suddenly. I was blessed to have had that time with her. She leaves behind her identical twin and two other sisters. Thank you for your prayers. Guy Whitten: My wife, Tracey, and I bought the Black Bear Inn in Orono in October, 2014. We’ve owned the University Inn since 2001 and now have both hotels in Orono. Life is busy, but good. We spend as many weekends as possible at our camp on Moosehead Lake. Looking forward to my two sons and their families visiting. Martha Brown Farrington: Phil and I are both well, and that is quite enough good news for us. We still spend six months at our cottage on North Pond in Bryant Pond (which, by the way, is for sale) and six months at our home in Clermont, Florida, where Phil works three days a week as Security Guard for our park.

Over 1000 people walked in support of mental health, hope, and recovery. Dottie’s team was one of the top 10 fund-raisers! Donald Angevine was one of five outstanding student-athletes inducted into the Gould Athletic Hall of Fame on Alumni Weekend. While at Gould, Don excelled in cross-country skiing and cross-country running and track, frequently finishing first in his events at the local, state, and regional level. He lettered in all three sports. In his senior year at Gould, Don was a member of the Sunday River Ski Patrol during its first season and then served for two seasons as Head of Ski Patrol. Gould’s most prestigious alumni award, the Distinguished Alumnus of the Year, was bestowed on John Todd also on Alumni Weekend. After a long and eminent career with the U.S. Navy, John served for almost 20 years, from 1984 to 2003, as Gould’s Director of Development and Director of Major Gifts. John has worked tirelessly on behalf of Gould since

In Memoriam: John Munger, Gould Faculty 1967- 69 By Stephanie Stokes Leguia ’70
My shining light, teacher John Munger, left Gould after only two years, but his impact on us was extraordinary. He was an absolutely inspirational teacher of English, acting, directing, and a concert-quality pianist. We didn’t even know that his real passion was dancing. When he left, I was crushed but also comforted, knowing that he was in the world pursuing his dream. As the decades passed, he and I lost touch. In 2010, I tracked him down on the Internet and discovered his astonishing dance career. Very recently, I learned the tragic news of his death at the age of 67. My first memory of him was of him learning the Maple Leaf Rag in Gehring Hall. His spirited English classes opened a world of possibilities as we discovered literature, feeding off his passionate enthusiasm. He directed a brilliant production of Under Milkwood that remains superior to all the others I’ve since seen.
listened to jazz that I had never heard before and you should have seen him run a 440 around the track.” Munger’s colleague, former faculty member Charlie Newell ’62, reminded us how “Munger would slap his forehead with the palm of his hand when things happened that struck his fancy,” and that he also played a pretty good game of pool. For Jay Erhard ’70, “He was one of the great ones, a mentor to me for my writing. His classes were usually intense. I loved his ragtime and was mesmerized by his control of the cue ball.” Many more accolades were spoken during his memorial service, capturing the scintillating, hilarious, ingenious essence of the John Munger we loved. (https://youtu.be/5DOnf2I6sMA)
When I posted news of his passing on Facebook, the floodgates opened with an outpouring of other memories: Photographer Sara Piazza ’69 said, “He started me off in photography, taking me into the darkroom at Gould, teaching me how to develop film and make prints, all under the orange glow of the safe light.” Jamerling Ogg ’70: “He inspired me and is still, in my memories, my favorite teacher. I loved the stories he shared of Middle East experiences while we played a single game of Risk for days on end.” Jamerling also remembered that Munger entered Harvard at age 17 and won a collegiate title in wrestling; teaching at Gould was his first post-college job. John Wentworth ’69 reminisced, “He seemed to have a grasp of everything he touched. He inspired me to pick up a camera, he

What will your legacy be? Consider a planned gift to Gould today. “I had wanted to go to Gould as a freshman, but my parents simply could not afford it, even with scholarship help. Although I spent only my junior and senior years there, they made a permanent imprint on me. I was living away from home, I shared meals with other students from all over New England and faculty members daily, I improved my academic skills, my world view expanded, and, yes, I got to train with the boys’ ski team. My brother Alan also had a very long and meaningful relationship with Gould, first as a student, later as a Trustee, and for 24 years, as President of the Board of Trustees. So, Gould is in my will, and someday my gift will be put to work helping young people like my brother and me benefit from the Gould experience." – Ann Ordway Mahoney ’61 Planned Giving to Gould Academy affords you peace of mind and sustains our top priority of making Gould affordable for future students and faculty, to continue the legacy of the Gould Experience.
