It's wonderful to hear from Elva Perry Gill from her home in Snellville, Georgia. Now in her ninety-fifth year, she says, "Let's have some news in the Bates Alumnus under '22. I am still living in my villa in the retirement colony. So far I manage to go food shopping once a week, get my three meals a day, keep place tidy." She has help with laundry and cleaning and goes on to say, "I still do my quilting and knit lace. I spent last summer in Maine. Hope to this summer, too."

The newspapers have been headlining the Bowen family recently. First, "Holiday Baby Spreads Joy with Music" was for Vic, who was born December 25, 1904, on Chebeague Island off the coast of Maine. Ninety years later he is known for sharing his musical talents with family, friends, and residents of his adopted hometown of Laconia, New Hampshire. A retired superintendent of schools and active volunteer, he plays the piano for local nursing homes as well as for club meetings. Vic was doubly pleased to learn that son Jeffrey, a Williams College graduate with a master's degree from Johns Hopkins University and a Ph.D. from SUNY/Albany, had become coordinator of educational research for the New York Department of Education last December. Jeffrey added to his Dad's pleasure when he said, "My Dad is an inspiration to me, to our family, and to his friends." Class Secretary adds, "Yea, '27!"...

Olive's son, who lives on Cape Cod, celebrates many holidays with her. Recently she wrote another article on Shakespeare, which is to be published in Baconiana, and an article on cancer which will appear in Nature Magazine. She is pleased that her daughter represented the United States at the dedication of a beautiful new convention hall in Bremen, Germany, where she was to be the guest of the governor and his wife, and she also spoke on TV.

They visited with Bob Coombs in Newport News and Hilda Gellerson Bajema in nearby Bellingham, Washington... Milt Lindholm writes, "Jane (Ault '37) and I are perky enough to attend the many concerts, lectures, and sports events that the Bates community has to offer."

A wonderful addition to Bates facilities, we might add!... We would have enjoyed seeing Charlotte Longley Orr costumed to honor her 1790s local ancestors in her hometown Fourth of July parade.

Next Reunion in 1997. When a group of Albuquerque alumni met at the home of Mary Rogers Barnard '56 and husband Ken last fall, Billie and Gene Connell were present and added to the enjoyment of the occasion by bringing yearbooks from Gene's years at Bates. Younger members were interested in "life in the '30s," and Mary was surprised at how many faculty of our time were still teaching at Bates when she was there... It was reassuring to see Geneva Kirk's smiling face on the cover of Healthcare, a publication of Central Maine Healthcare and Central Maine Medical Center, because it showed that Geneva is very much involved in community life again after having been forced to "slow down" for a while. A feature article praises Geneva for her many contributions to the Horizons/55 program which provides services for older people. One of her particular interests was the Roots Project, a series of programs begun in 1992 to celebrate the diverse ethnic heritage of local people. Using her special skills as a former teacher, she has presented several programs on Lewiston history and one on Brazil, Maine's partner state, where she has traveled through Partners of the Americas. Her advice to her students? "If there's something you want to do, get started tomorrow. Do it right away, or you might never do it at all." Good advice for us all.

He returned to his hometown after medical school, caring for the people there for sixty-six years. Early on he made house calls with his horse and buggy for transportation, and more than once rowed the rough narrows to Campobello Island to treat residents, including members of the Roosevelt family, or to deliver babies. He was the typical old-fashioned family doctor who also found time to write and publish four books of poetry. In June 1991, Lubec honored him as "Downeaster, Poet, Gentle Spirit, Great Hugger, and Dedicated Physician," and presented him with a plaque to remind him of the esteem in which he is held in the community. He and his wife, Noni, still live in Lubec in the house where he was born.

And this from Roberta Sweetser McKinnell: "Anyone who missed the June Reunion missed an extra-special celebration of renewing friendships. The whole affair was extremely well organized with plenty of time to spend with fellow classmates." Sailing in the summer, Roberta and "Scotty" drove on a 6,500-mile round trip that included Calgary, Alberta, and a tour of Alaska. They spent the winter skiing in Maine... Retired after forty-five years of teaching, Royce W. Miller spends part of each week with his elderly mother in Appleton, Maine.

From Fullerton, California, Allen Howlett says he is still active in his business and continues to travel some 40,000 miles a year.

Next Reunion in 2000. Last June in Normandy, Carolyn Chesley Watts was thrilled to be part of the D-Day fiftieth anniversary ceremonies. Her husband, Ralph, had landed on Omaha Beach which made the visit "educational and emotional. Many people, even young ones, came up to the veterans...to thank them for their liberation."...On a "marvelous" trip to Alaska with the Bates alumni group, Barbara Doane was impressed with the ruggedness of life, the expansive vistas, the many glaciers.

Trips to Bermuda and an Elderhostel in Savannah are this traveler's next destinations... Bob Greenberg has a new stake in Maine.

Dick saw Sam Kozak at a geology meeting in Seattle and learned that Sam still enjoys teaching at Washington and Lee University, and "looks great."...In January Pres and Helen Lindenmeier Davis Blake participated in the dedication of the Underhill Ice Arena and the Davis Fitness Center, named in honor of the late John H. Davis '54. They attended the Euro Rally in Cologne, Germany, for the Rolls Royce Enthusiasts' Club, and toured the country, ending in Bad Orb. The small, very charming town is the ancestral home of the Lindenmeiers, several of whom live there now, still in the bakery business as was Helen's grandfather when he came to America in the 1800s. The trip has inspired Helen to do genealogical research... From Hong Kong, Harry Meline heard from Dwight "Gimp" Harvie who plans a New England college tour with his daughter. Harry's daughter is the same age and they hope to connect. Harry, still tickling the ivories at Topher's in Kennebunk, has played for such luminaries as the Muskies, the Bushes, and Bill '53 and Carolyn Snow Wyman, but regrets missing the Lindholms and others on his night off. The farm, boarding cats, and travel to the Bahamas fill the remaining waking moments... In another part of the world, we hear from Barbara Doane that Ken and Ruth Scammon Sargent are winding down six and a half years in Saudi Arabia. Ken, still with the U.S. Geological Survey, and Ruth at the American Consulate, say it's been exciting and challenging, an experience of a lifetime. On their return they will spend part of the time at their house in Prospect Harbor, Maine, and travel to visit their sons in New York, Minnesota, and Colorado... As with many of us, Tom Whitney writes that he enjoys a different phase of life--travel, grandkids, and visiting the American West. Tom had been in touch with Tony Kugeman several times last year.

On a trip to Ireland to discover Irish roots, they discovered about thirty-five Harper cousins they had never contacted before. He had the honor of being invited to create a sculpture in Cork City's largest riverside park with seven other artists. "Family Gathering" was made of stone and brick around a live cluster of huge cedar trees. Last August he did an outdoor art installation show on a 200-acre farm and forest estate outside of Ottawa.

In other issues of the paper Dwight's accounts of his granddaughter, Jennifer, strike a familiar note with grandparents everywhere, and with the arrival of Joshua last August we can expect additional accounts.
