45 December, and the deadline for the spring issue of Colby is here.
Got the blues. No news. Hoping, though, that Y2K+1 will be kind to all
and that at least some '45ers will write just a few words about their
activities and events to share with the rest of us.

47 Dana and Harriett Nourse Robinson attended
the Old China Hands reunion in Scottsdale, Ariz., and then in Phoenix
visited friends they had known in Beijing. They then continued on to
the Grand Canyon, Canyon de Chelly in Navajo land and other sights before
completing a three-week trip. They spent Christmas with Harriet's sister,
Fran Nourse Johnston '49, and family. The wedding of a granddaughter
on the same weekend as our mini-reunion in June kept them from joining
us, and now they're awaiting the birth of a first great-grandchild.
. . . John and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Provence but didn't
get to hike as much as expected. Highlights were the town of Tourettes,
the Canyon of Verdun, a cooking class and several memorable meals. In
the spring we'll be visiting Spain, followed by a week with a son in
Germany. . . . I wish more of you would send me news. There are many
whom I haven't heard from in years. How about surprising me before the
next deadline.

48 Dear classmates, we have not received any information in the last
few months, so we'll give you some idea of our Colby contacts. We went
to Waterville for the inauguration of Bro Adams-a gala weekend and one
we shall long remember. All of you should try to meet Bro. We're certain
that he is going to lead Colby to new heights. Our daughter, Deborah
'75, who is a Colby overseer, also attended the festivities and brought
our 16-year-old granddaughter, Jessica, and our 12-year-old grandson,
Mark. We gave them a guided tour of the campus and regaled them with
stories of our undergraduate days. . . . We have seen Carol Silverstein
Baker and Kay Weisman Jaffe in the past few months. Now that
we are in Jupiter, Fla., we regularly see Leonard Warshaver '49. . .
. Recently we had a visit by David Pulver '63 and his wife, Carol. .
. . We did receive an e-mail from Joan Crawley Pollock right
after we had submitted our last class notes. Joan wrote on October 5
that she and her husband drove from Pasadena, Calif., to Phoenix, Ariz.,
for a men's Y meeting. They also visited with Shirley Carrier Brown
and her husband, George, whose three sons live nearby. One son, Bruce
'79, is a lawyer. Joan remarked that they had been delighted to receive
a birthday card from Margaret Felton Viens '77 from the Office of Alumni
Relations. . . . Please try to stay in touch so that we will have information
about classmates for the next edition of Colby.

49- Many thanks to those of you who responded to my recent letter. I
now have news to pass on to you-perhaps even more than will fit in this
column. Now isn't that novel! But don't let that discourage any of you
from sending me your updates. . . . I heard almost immediately from
Celie Farnham Sturtevant, who expressed surprise that she really
did have some news--an unbelievable year of travel. First, it was 10
perfect days in England in April visiting her son and daughter-in-law.
In August she and husband Juss went to Bermuda to celebrate their 50th
anniversary, and in October they traveled to Venezuela with her brother
and sister, Frank Farnham '40 and Lydia Farnham Johnson '40, for the
wedding of Frank's grandson. Wow! . . . Another one who didn't think
she had any news was Barbara Grant Doyle. She and her husband
had just returned from France, where they visited with their youngest
son, Jeff, who with his wife and three young daughters is spending a
year on a barge. The 90-year-old barge was formerly a "hotel barge,"
about 90 feet long with four bedrooms and baths, a kitchen, lounge and
"dining room." The barge was moored near a small town in southern France,
Portiragne, but Barbara hopes to visit again in the spring, when they
may have made it as far as Toulouse. (Keep us posted, Barbara!) Their
older son, Peter, is a professor of math at Dartmouth. . . . Guy
Smith writes that he had a stroke in July and is working hard to
regain full recovery. It looks like Guy hasn't moved, but he has a recent
post office change: 4 Riverview Terrace, Hillsborough, NJ 08844. . .
. Ruth Endicott Freeman, now a semi-retired physician, and her
husband, Miles, live in Ogunquit, Maine. Their two married daughters
and three grandchildren live not far away. To celebrate a recent milestone
birthday, Ruth went parasailing. Go for it, Ruth! And she wants to know
if anyone remembers when Kevin Hill '50 brought into Mower House a live
chicken in a burlap bag that had been "liberated" from a nearby farm.
. . . Someone we haven't heard from in a long time, Richard Fisch,
sent me an e-mail. Richard is still enjoying his field of psychiatry
so much that he doubts he will ever quit. Last year he came out with
his third book, Brief Psychotherapy with Intimidating Cases.
It shows how such problems as excessive drinking, "paranoid" delusions
and self-mutilation can be treated psycho-therapeutically, but the therapy
can be brief. He enjoys the moderate weather in Palo Alto, Calif., where
he lives. It allows him to continue his flying on a year-round basis.
Richard sends his "best regards to the rest of you '49ers" and hopes
you are "doing better than the 49ers we have here in San Francisco."
. . . Ann Jennings Taussig reports that the best part of the
year 2000 was celebrating their 50th anniversary with their kids at
The Cloisters in Sea Island, Ga. She says she laughed for three days
with them! The other news from Ann is that as soon as their summer home
in Wolfeboro, N.H., can be stretched and winterized, she and John will
be leaving Williamsburg and moving back north for good. . . . Just as
I was starting to compose these notes, I checked my e-mail and there
was word from Carleton Porter. Carl and Dottie have fond memories
of campus life and the vets apartments, where they were living when
their daughter was born 51 years ago! This October found them traveling
to Greece for two weeks. Carl reports, "It is quite an experience to
visit an area of such ancient ruins and history. Just to touch things
dating back to 400-300 B.C.!" He sends best wishes to you all for good
health and prosperity in the years to come. . . . I think I'm about
out of my allotted space for this column and I haven't even mentioned
the long letter I had from Jack Mahoney. Suffice it to say that
Jack lives on Androscoggin Lake in Wayne, Maine, and is deeply involved
in combating the pollution of the lake. I found it fascinating and will
report in more detail in my next class notes.
