Lillian Meyer Haning writes from Palo Alto, Calif. Lillian, now a
widow and recently retired after 20 years in publishing as a writer for
Western Sunset magazine, cares for her nearly 100-year-old mother. She's
enjoying working on her house and garden and seeing her son and first
grandchild who live nearby. Another son is in Oregon, and a daughter is in
Arizona. In 1994 she took a walking tour of southwest England and is now
planning another one, this time to Scotland or
Ireland. . . . Richard King, retired from the U.S.
Government, Martin Marietta and GE, lives in Albuquerque, N.M. He is active in
the Barbershop Society and competed at the international the last two years.
His other activities are golf and metal detecting (as in ghost towns). Dick

administration and real estate to become the president of the Maine Association
of Retirees, which has 12,000 public school and government retired members. He
also is active in Democratic politics and local fund raising. Allen's daughter
Pamela is academic dean at the International University College in Denver,

his roommate, Warren Southworth, who became Class of

1996 after 33 years as director of the Baltimore County Public Library in
Towson, Md. Now he's working part time as an editor of Library
Administrator's Digest. He still has an office so hasn't changed his wife's
routine. Besides, he says, "It's a quiet place to
nap!" . . . Sad to report the death in November of Neil
W. Collar, a returning veteran who graduated with our class. He founded the
Collar and Kimball Insurance Co. in Oakland, Maine, was an active member of the
Lions Club and a recipient of the Outstanding Citizen Award, among other
honors. . . . If any of you are spending time in Florida in
the Fort Pierce area, be sure to watch TV channel 13 and the program The
Lively Arts of the Treasure Coast with Charmian Herd. Charmian has
complete artistic control of the program and enjoys the hectic pace of chasing
interview subjects. She's also involved with other theatrical pursuits, such as
appearing in a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta and going on a 10-country
tour with the Vero Beach Choral Society. She has just been appointed a member
of the St. Lucie Cultural Affairs Association. Congratulations, Charmian, on
such a successful career.
