Since its launch in August 1999 onto the World Wide Web,
Colby-Sawyer’s Web site at www.colby-sawyer.edu had welcomed

The last issue of the Colby-Sawyer College Alumni Magazine ran a small item about one of our students who saved a
woman’s life in a frightening auto accident. The item came to us so close to our publication deadline that

in her own words by senior Nursing student Michelle Doyle ’01. Lives were at stake on the day this story took place,

Introduction
No Fences
A college tradition from 1940 to
1989, Colbytown Camp began as a
refuge for children escaping from
Nazi persecution in Europe. It also
included American children who could
not afford a camp experience and who
could help the refugees learn to be at
home in this country. Together they
would be able to experience nature in a
supportive environment.
Throughout the academic year, the
college community raised all the money
needed to support the camp. Each
July, 24 girls, ages 7 to 11, lived in
tents and in the college Lodge on Little
Lake Sunapee. Their counselors were
volunteer Colby Junior College students and the directors, nurse, and
cook were faculty volunteers. All camp
chores, such as meal preparation and
housekeeping, were done by the
campers and staff in cooperative teamwork.
Camp activities included swimming, boating, nature hikes, arts and
crafts, music, storytelling, community
visits, and climbing Mount Kearsarge.
These photographs and stories relate to
the years 1949 to 1952. The Lodge
building, in which Colbytown Camp
was centered, has now been disassembled, and using its historic beams, it
was reconstructed on campus as The
Lodge at Colby-Sawyer College.
A small team of drivers in station wagons met at the Claremont railroad station not quite sure what to expect
when 12 little refugee girls arrived
from New York City. Earlier, the
Colbytown Camp Committee had
selected 12 children from the many
applications submitted by an international refugee agency. The train stopped
and the girls got out and looked around
with uncertainty. For a moment they
were solemn and silent, but when we
stepped forward with welcoming smiles,
they picked up their well-worn little
suitcases and followed us to the cars.
As we came around the curve of
Little Lake Sunapee, we pointed out that
Colbytown Camp was just ahead. One
little girl beside me asked in a timid
voice, “But where is the fence?” The
only camps she had known were concentration camps with high barbed wire
fences. Another child, studying the
birch trees wondered, “Why are the trees
bandaged?” These girls, with their families, had escaped Nazi persecution in
Czechoslovakia, France, Poland, and one
child had been sent from London to
escape the terrors of the Blitz.
At first, some had only limited
English facility, however, the other
campers from Roxbury, Massachusetts
and New Hampshire soon taught them
new words and gave them daily practice
so that four weeks later they spoke

The Little Truck Driver
One New Hampshire girl of about eight years, a ward of
the state because of some abusive home circumstances,
had learned early to make the best of any situation. She
cheerfully pitched in waiting on tables, balancing the tray
above her shoulder just as she had seen waiters do. She
piled the dishes so heavily that the counselors fondly called
her “Little Truck Driver,” as she seemed to have the energy
and strength of an older boy. But she had a gentle side too.
She loved music and, whenever there was a lull in activity
on a rainy day, she could be found snuggled against the old
phonograph, seemingly transported by the sounds of a few
well-worn 78s left in The Lodge collection. She also had endless
enthusiasm for leading the other children ad infinitum in the
singing game “Ten Little Indians.” She did this bent double in
what she thought was a warrior’s attack stance. She loved every
minute of the four weeks and contributed as much as she gained.
Arrival of the European refugee

the end, smiles were seen all around.
English easily. They had already suffered so many uprooting and
harrowing flights from country to country that they were quick to
adjust to yet another temporary residence, although, for most, living in a little forest beside a lake and sleeping in a tent was a very
new experience.
Cooperation
When something’s free and as good as ripe blueberries,
even too many might not be enough.
Eight Colby Junior counselors shared their tents with the children.
With two faculty directors they planned each day’s programs, one
for a sunny day and one for a rainy day, as we could never trust the
weather forecast. All of us cooperatively did all camp chores
and, with a faculty member as camp cook, prepared and served
the meals.
There was an award for the “tent of the week,” which had the
best-swept floors, neatest beds, and clothes put away in order.
Each morning, a “camper of the day” raised the American flag on
the tall pole in front of The Lodge and led the whole camp in the
Pledge of Allegiance. Sometimes this required a little prompting
from the “counselor of the day.”
After breakfast, one squad cleared tables and dried dishes, while
another prepared vegetables to be cooked for dinner. One trio,
given bunches of beets to clean, scrubbed them so gleefully and
thoroughly that the beets were the size of marbles when handed
back to the surprised cook, who had to send the director racing to
Cricenti’s Market to get more bunches of beets!
The European children were aghast when they helped to clear
tables and saw plates with food not eaten. They had known
hunger and, so, wasted not a crumb! Even some of the New
Hampshire children were painfully thin on arrival, but four weeks
later the camp nurse could report the campers had a successful gain
of several pounds and renewed energy.
Blueberries
When the wild blueberries were
ripe on the rocky hillside, we
took the whole camp out to
pick them so the cook could
make blueberry muffins and
pancakes. The New
Hampshire girls were old
hands at this, but for the
city children berries had
been a luxury which was
too costly for their mothers’
strained budgets. Of course, we all tasted as
many as we dropped into the berry pails, but that’s the fun of picking berries on a hot July day, isn’t it?
One afternoon, after the supper dishes were put away, a counselor discovered that one of her girls from Roxbury, Massachusetts
was missing. A quick search of tents, dockside, and wood paths
turned up no clue of the missing camper. Panic went through the
hearts of the directors until someone thought to return to the blueberry patch. There she was, crouched down in the bushes with her

plastic toothbrush cup, filling it with this delicious free fruit,
more precious than sapphires!
Runaway
Occasionally, a child would be upset at a remark made by another
child from a different culture, a child who simply saw things from a
different base and meant no harm. One such instance came in an
informal discussion of the different ways of different people. A
New Hampshire child pointed to a refugee girl and said, “She’s
Jewish.” It was not a criticism, as she had probably never before
met someone who was Jewish. However, the refugee child stiffened
up in fury, shouting, “Why did you tell her that?”
Being given away as Jewish in Nazi Europe had too often been a
death sentence in her experience. So, she decided it was best to run
away from camp. With a friend, she started off around the lake to
Newport Road. Director Jean London quietly started in pursuit,
keeping the runaways in sight. She reasoned, correctly, that a direct
confrontation probably would not resolve the situation.
The little runaways would hurry around each curve, then stop
and wait to be sure Jean was still coming after them. Finally, Jean
called out, “Wait for me!” and they did. All three linked hands and
walked back to camp, the crisis past.
Skits, plays, and laughter
kept the campers busy on
rainy days and added a
festive touch to holidays.
However, as camp activities began to include
more outdoor, nature-centered skills, they discovered leadership
qualities within themselves that no one had praised before. They
soon were leading the refugees in swim lessons, toasting hot dogs,
and climbing Mount Kearsarge.
Some of the city girls seemed always to be first in line for everything, however it was not because they were quicker. In the city,
they had had to push and shove to be sure of getting their share.
Gradually, the camp experience taught them that they would get
lunch sooner if they politely took a place in line instead of being
sent to the end of the line for rudely elbowing.
And so, during the month, all three groups had learned and had
taught. Children and adults alike learned valuable lessons about
living in harmony.
Leadership
As the weeks passed, we were fascinated by shifts in leadership
among the three groups of children: the city girls from Roxbury,
Massachusetts; the refugees, who had been temporarily residing in
New York City; and the New Hampshire children who came mostly from rural villages.
At first, for the refugees, Colbytown Camp was just one more
new scene in their young peripatetic lives and they easily stepped
forward, while the New Hampshire children hung back, overcome
with shyness. Many New Hampshire girls had never known a
world wider than the one from their farm to school and church and
back. At first, some were homesick and wept quietly at night, missing the sisters with whom they usually shared a little bed.
Celebration
The Colby Junior counselors, who like the faculty were all volunteers, learned many things during their camp experience. The
Fourth of July seemed an exciting opportunity to teach American
history while having a big holiday. There were amusing mini-dramas with George and Martha Washington, Betsy Ross, and others.
There was a grand beach picnic on Colby Point with hot dogs and
marshmallows to roast on sticks over a fire, followed by the eating
of big slices of watermelon.

The college girls, for whom Fourth of July had always meant
fireworks—the louder the better—were the ones to have a real history lesson. To the refugee children, whose homes had been
bombed to rubble, the sound of firecrackers was terrifying and
brought back nightmares of bombed-out cities, death, and destruction. The counselors learned that a quiet Fourth of July could be
just as good a celebration.
Margie
One summer, we all had a special challenge in the round form of
eight-year-old Margie. She was a ward of the state, having been
removed from a non-functional family. She had already been
placed in at least five foster homes, and in each they had finally
said they could not handle her. The social worker told us that
Margie would be placed in an orphanage in Manchester, New
Hamphire after the camp season.
In the first weeks of camp we frequently heard exasperated
counselors crying, “Margie!” and we knew she had once again been
in trouble. Tent #1 kept losing its chance to be “tent of the week”
because Margie dropped her clothes all over the floor, would not
make her bed, and talked all through rest hour. She would not
cooperate and do her camp chores, did not understand how to
share with others, and generally was our greatest trial.
Perhaps it was just the understanding that we all cared about
her, but something transformed the chubby little devil into a loveable child with an infinite need for affection. She learned to be
neat, to help with chores, to share books and dolls, and to enjoy
herself and camp. The last night of camp there was the usual ceremony of writing heartfelt wishes on scraps of paper, which were
fastened to little wooden boats with candles and then set afloat on
the moonlit waters of Little Lake Sunapee. It was a clear, starry
night and Margie, who had a sore throat, was wrapped up in a
blanket on my lap. After a long time of looking up at the stars, she
asked, “Do angels get sore throats?” When assured that they probably did not, she wistfully said, “I wish I were an angel.” Did she
know how uncertain her future was?
It so happened that the social worker was delayed in coming for
Margie, so she was the last camper to depart. By now we had all
become so fond of her that when the car drove off there was not a
dry eye among us! That night in our staff meeting, the counselors
proposed a “great idea.” “Margie will hate the orphanage, so you
two (Peg and Jean) should adopt her! We will take turns baby-sitting and will raise funds to help with her expenses.”
At that time, New Hampshire law did not allow single women
to adopt, and our very heavy teaching assignments made such a
plan wholly unworkable, but we promised them we would keep in
touch with Margie.
. . . there was the usual ceremony of
writing heartfelt wishes on scraps of
paper, which were fastened to little
wooden boats with candles and then
set afloat on moonlit waters. . .
Ambassadors
When Colbytown Camp began, New London had its share of people who suspected that the Nazis might have planted some spies
among these children. It was the time of McCarthyism and an
overzealous Central Intelligence Agency, which went so far as to
send an unsmiling agent to grill us about the camp. However, after
we arranged a Sunday when we brought the children to churches in
New London instead of to the little camp chapel in the woods, suspicions evaporated. The sight of these little refugees, some only
seven or eight years old, put fears at ease.
We were able to arrange Sunday visits, which began in church
services and went on to dinner with local families. Soon people
were competing to see who could plan the best treat: pony rides,
motor boating, sailing, visiting farm animals, etc. When the children came back to camp at night from the various homes, they
were bursting with tales to tell and treats to show.
Many New London people were touched by these encounters
and later called to offer bounty from their gardens, including
watermelons or ice cream treats for the whole camp. Sometimes
the littlest ambassadors are the most persuasive!

One Saturday in October we arranged
with the director of the orphanage to
bring a picnic and to take Margie out for
some fun on a nearby playground. The
director was very surprised at my question
about Margie’s behavior. Evidently they
had had no trouble with her at all. After
the picnic, Margie wanted to go right back
and she led us up to her dormitory room to
show us her little shoes lined up neatly under
her well-made bed and her clothes folded in
the drawers. She was so proud to have us see
this. We had been afraid she might cling to us and beg to be taken
back to New London, but on the contrary, she seemed happily
adjusted, with no desire to leave.
Afterwards, when we wondered if all the hard work and annual
struggles to raise the funds to support the camp were worth it, we
would remember with fondness Margie’s transformation.
Miracles of nature such as this small turtle on a leaf
were discovered with awe by those campers who had
lived in cities in Europe all their young lives.
The chapel site was on sloping ground with a
bed of soft pine needles facing down toward the
symbols and the two stumps. When all the
campers had found a place on their pillows, the
music would come to an end and the counselor-chaplain would start the service. It usually consisted of thoughtful queries to which the
children volunteered answers—“In this very quiet place, what can
you hear?” “What is the most beautiful thing you have seen this
week?” “What do we have to be thankful for?” Considering their
backrounds, the campers’ answers were often very moving.
Occasionally, there would be a moment of comic relief when one
little camper’s pillow would slip loose on the pine needles and she
would slide WHOOSH! down to the Star of David.
Sometimes we sang folk songs or rounds and sometimes a
counselor read a story. Always there was the sound of wind in the
pines, birds calling, and maybe a squirrel or chipmunk scurrying
by, surprised to find its habitat invaded.
It was a peaceful time. At the end the campers picked up their
pillows and trudged back down the hill to the receding sound of
the flute. Now, 50 years later, one wonders if they recall those special hours when we all paused to be grateful.
Under The Pines
The campers belonged to many different faiths, not all of which
were represented in New London at that time. So we used to have
a simple interfaith chapel service for them under the pine trees up
a little hill across from camp. The counselors found some birch
saplings, broken in a storm, from which they created a simple
Christian cross, which stood in the center of a Star of David outlined on the ground. Two short stumps on either side provided
seats for the counselor who led the service and for Peg Cawley,
who provided music on her silver flute.
After Sunday breakfast and the morning chores, the campers
each picked out a pillow from the old laundry basket by the back
door and started off in single file to cross the road. With the eager
anticipation of children about to experience something new, they
chattered as they walked until the leading counselor turned to say,
“SHHHHH! We have to find the way by following the sound of
the flute! Can you hear her?” So, like little Indians, they crept up
the path, listening…listening…
The Cardboard Shoes
They may have been proud party shoes once, when, as a small
child, she first wore them in her native village in Poland. But that
was before Hitler swept through Europe leaving a trail of horror
and destruction, which sent Ruth’s family fleeing from country to
country until they finally found haven in Manhattan.
Now it was July in the early 1950s in a small college camp for
underprivileged girls, Colbytown Camp on Little Lake Sunapee in
New Hampshire. Ruth, with eleven other refugee children, had
arrived at the train station with a tattered suitcase and wearing
scuffed, very worn, red shoes with a thin strap. She spoke little
English that day but learned quickly and soon was enjoying swimming lessons, nature hikes, story hours, and campfire cookouts.
But when we all climbed Mount Kearsarge, the pathetic little red
shoes were hardly equal to the challenge. While the New England
15
Wishes Afloat

children in their scruffy
old sneakers clambered
easily over the big
rocks in the trail,
Ruth’s slippery, thin
soles could not find
a foothold. We
hauled her up the
mountain and
hung on tightly
as she skidded
all the way
down.
The next day I explained that we could go
together to Newport where I would buy her a pair of sneakers like
the other girls wore. As usual, she made no comment but obediently followed me to the car. At Wright’s Shoe Store, the clerk
commented that her toes were pressing tightly against the front of
the shoes. She needed a larger size now. Soon she was fitted into a
good pair of Keds. The clerk asked if he should discard the worn
red shoes. A frantic look flashed across Ruth’s face as she grabbed
the shoes, clutching them to her.
On the way back to camp I tried to persuade her that sneakers
were part of the “American Way,” best suited for the “Trail to
Freedom,” and that they were the sporting shoes for outdoor life.
It was no use. Shortly after our return, Ruth emerged from her
tent to go to swimming class, the old red shoes on her feet.
Another day, when she was running along the forest path, I
noticed the sole of one red shoe was flopping loose, threatening to
trip her. I asked her to change into the sneakers so I could take the
shoes to the repair shop for a new sole. Rhys Jones, the cobbler,
often had accomplished miracles with farmers’ old boots when
there was no money for new ones, but when I gave him the little
Polish shoes with the ragged strap, he just laughed. “How do you
expect me to work on these? They look as though they were made
out of cardboard and there’s practically none of it left!”
When I returned to camp with the shoes unrepaired, Ruth still
refused to give them up for the new sneakers. In a tearful little
voice she explained that she always wore these shoes! It was in
them that she had walked across half of Europe with her family in
their desperate search for freedom. These were her last link with
the memory of home. There just had to be a way to preserve them
through the summer at least.
In her red, cardboard shoes, walking by night, hiding by day, Ruth fled
from country to country across Europe to escape Nazi persecution.
Maybe when she returned to New York City her mother could
lead her to put them aside for the sneakers which did not pinch her
toes, but she was not ready for that yet. Ruth’s family had crossed
so many borders in their flight from the Nazis that she had not yet
begun to feel American. The shoes said she was a Polish girl and
that still mattered to her.
So, the next day, both Ruth and I went to Rhys Jones’ Shoe
Repair Shop. I lifted her up on his high counter so the flopping
sole and worn strap hung down in front of him. “Rhys, this is
Ruth who had to walk all across Poland in these shoes to escape
from Hitler,” I said. “They are all she has left from her homeland
and she will wear no others. Please help her.” That did it. As
usual, when townspeople, initially suspicious of these refugees,
Ruth, with eleven other
refugee children, had arrived
at the train station with a
tattered suitcase and wearing
scuffed, very worn red shoes
with a thin strap.
actually met one of the children, their hearts opened. The gentle
old Welshman gave a great sigh and reached out to undo the straps.
While Ruth wriggled her bare feet in the warm grass of his yard,
Rhys performed yet another miracle. There was no charge; Ruth’s
smile was reward enough.
At the end of the Colbytown Camp season Ruth returned to
the city tanned, a little fatter, smiling much more often, and speaking English easily. When she boarded the train, under one arm was
the box with the sneakers, but on her feet were the paper-thin, too
small, beloved old red shoes.

NEW LONDON, NH - May 14, 2000 - Valedictorian Zachary Pinard pondered the still-cloudy future. “It has the power to

bright, new sunlight of spring, Ponder said.
When they came to Colby-Sawyer four years earlier, Ponder said, she was just starting, too. Back
then she told them “to make Cs” by learning about courage, confidence, compassion, and community. Now, as they were about to leave, she told them, they had learned those lessons well. “We

his contributions to the New London community. She gave environmental advocate and
former Delaware Governor Russell Peterson an honorary degree, and graduates celebrated Professor Anthony Quinn’s superb career

Ponder also honored Dr. Kathryn Springsteen, a professor of science at Colby-Sawyer

school service and excellence in teaching. In the school’s

Finding those patterns, establishing those relationships between
information and experiences, was the key to making sense of things, according to Springsteen. “If we
really want to appreciate the world we live in, then we need to reverse the view of knowledge as fragmented and specialized,” she told students.
Like Springsteen, graduating senior Zanna Campbell reminded classmates that openness to new experiences would continue
their future education as adults. And keeping in touch with their past, including their years at Colby-Sawyer, would give them
roots amid the change to come. “Fellow grads, don’t forget where you came from - this faculty and staff are irreplaceable,”
Campbell said. “Please don’t forget this address - it never changes. It will always be 100 Main Street, New London, New
Hampshire 03257 - and just attach their names.”
After the speeches came the point of it all: a handshake from school officials, and a
college diploma amid the hoots and whistles and applause of friends. Then,
to the music of a brass quintet, college
faculty members lined up as an honor
guard, and graduates passed between
tears and congratulations.

Dana in the Land of Oz
As a student at Colby-Sawyer, Dana Healy ’94 was involved in
everything time would allow. She rode on the equestrian team and
was captain of the 1994 National Champions. She was a member
of the Student Government Association and the Alpha Chi Honor
Society. She tutored fellow students in her Exercise and Sport
Sciences major, and, when it came time to graduate, Dana was
chosen by her classmates to present the senior address. She was
also the recipient of the Sport Sciences Departmental Award as the
student who showed the highest degree of interest and excellence
in her field of study.
Dana went directly from Colby-Sawyer to the University of
Connecticut, where she had a graduate assistantship in the Exercise
Sports and Leisure Department. “Part of my graduate assistantship,” Dana explains, “was running the student fitness centers,
working in corporate fitness with the State Department of
Connecticut, and I was involved with the American College of
Sports Medicine, where I helped run clinics and certification programs. However, Dana got the feeling she should see a little more
of the world by moving out of New England. It never occurred to
her that she would be seeing a part of the planet about as far away
from New England as it’s possible to get.
“I met some people from the United States Olympic
Committee (USOC) at a conference,” she remembers. “They
encouraged me to come to Colorado Springs. I thought it would
be a good fit, so I began work as the assistant strength and conditioning coordinator for the United States Olympic Team in 1997.
I’m now the head strength and conditioning coordinator and the
interim director of the program which oversees the Olympic training sites in Lake Placid, New York; Chula Vista, California; and
Colorado Springs.”
Dana’s job makes her an important cog in United States
Olympic success, and this past September she found herself in
Sydney, Australia. “Within my Sport Science Department, we
have strength and conditioning, bio-mechanics, exercise physiology, computer sciences, sports psychology, and engineering and
technology. In Sydney we set up a human performance center in a
big warehouse next to the athlete’s village. Many of the athletes
said that because of the way we set things up, they felt right at
home. I liked that. I worked with gold medal winners Steven
Lopez (tae kwon do) and Rulon Gardner (Greco-Roman
wrestling), among many others. The work was hard, 12-hour days
for 30 straight days, but very rewarding considering the showing
our teams made. It was energizing to know that I was helping
these athletes achieve dreams they’d had for most of their lives.

Dana Healy ’ 94
by David R. Morcom
With incrdible sights greeting her
at every turn, Dana discovered
that “the land down under” was
a place of wonder.
“I got to go to a lot of
events in person because we
were allotted tickets as a
reward for our hard work. I
was thrilled to get to see the
gold medal baseball game
when the United States beat
Cuba. That was amazing.
After the Games were over, I
got to do some scuba diving in
North Queensland. The Great Barrier Reef was incredible, and I
saw a lot of sights I’d seen only in National Geographic specials.
I feel I’ve been extremely fortunate to have had this opportunity of
a lifetime.
“I love my job, and didn’t realize, until I went to this
Olympics, just how important my work is to so many people. I
believe I was well prepared for this type of responsibility at ColbySawyer because I was given a lot of guidance and a lot of freedom
to explore my future. I still have a lot of friends on the faculty and
look forward to seeing them when I come back to campus to present at seminars. One special professor is Kerstin Stoedefalke,
who, in and out of the classroom, was instrumental in getting me
to where I am today. We’re still great friends.”

Colby-Sawyer College will renovate and upgrade the Health,
Exercise, and Sport Sciences [HESS] Center to create Mercer Hall,
home of its Exercise and Sport Sciences Program. A recent gift
from former trustee William C. Mercer and Ramona Wells Mercer
’41 of Westwood, Massachsetts will support the cost of renovation
and construction and also establish an endowment for the building’s continued maintenance and upgrades. (See rendering below.)
Improvements to the HESS center, built in 1963, will total
$800,000, part of $1.1 million in gifts from the Mercers.
Construction will begin in the spring of 2001 and will develop new
classrooms, conference areas, laboratories, and office space to meet
the needs of students, faculty, and staff affiliated with Exercise and
Sport Sciences, which is among the college’s most popular majors.
The project will include a 20-foot addition to the building’s south
elevation, facing Mt. Kearsarge, and will feature a climbing wall
and glass expanse of windows overlooking the mountain. The work
will include an architectural facelift to the front façade, as well as a
colonnade linking Mercer Hall to The Lodge at Colby-Sawyer.
Mercer Hall will border Mercer Field, which was constructed on
Seamans Road in 1994 through a gift from the Mercers.
The $200,000 endowment established for ongoing refurbishment of Mercer Hall represents the first funding of its kind in the
seniors. The college also will earmark $50,000 to create the
hensive costs for selected Exercise and Sport Sciences juniors and
William C. Mercer Faculty Development Fund.
A lifetime supporter of higher education and a sports enthusiast, Mr. Mercer was elected to the Colby-Sawyer Board of Trustees
in 1980, and served eighteen years over three terms. He chaired the
1990-1995 Campaign for Colby-Sawyer College. In 1997, the college awarded him its highest honor, the Susan Colgate Cleveland
Medal for Distinguished Service.
Ramona Wells Mercer graduated from Colby Junior College in
1941 and received a B.S. She previously served as a volunteer with
horticultural societies, the YMCA, and the PTA.
“Choose any event of importance to Colby-Sawyer in the past
two decades, and Bill Mercer’s fingerprints are all over the scene,”
remarked William H. Dunlap, chairman of the Board of Trustees.
“The college has grown strong beyond expectation due, in large

It was most unfortunate that none
of us could attend reunion in June.
I did want to thank the Alumni
Office for the wonderful invitation
to our class! Barbara Mason writes,
“Since 1993, I have been living in
the Taylor Home Retirement
Community in Laconia, NH. My
sister-in-law Betty Mason lives here
on another floor. I am on the
Library Committee and helped set
up the library when the building
was built. Our family has been
coming to the same area since 1923
when we built a cottage on Lake
Winnipasaukee in Gilford. It is
almost like coming home since I
am only six miles from the cottage.

It’s hard to believe our class will celebrate its 70th reunion the weekend of June 1-3, 2001. Those of
you who can return for this auspicious occasion, please set the date
aside. Remember you are the foundation of what CSC is today. I sold
my house in Wellesley and moved
in June to Kendal in Hanover, NH.
Please note my change of address.
Dear classmates, by now we are
well launched into the new millennium with or without computers
and email. Barbara Vaughan
Garside had a good winter enjoying
music and theater and in June went
on a trip to Blowing Rock, NC.
Prudence Potter Jenkins and
daughter Susan visited the campus
in May and stopped in the Alumni
Office. She hadn’t been back in 16
years but has some wonderful
memories of her days here. What
admiration I have for Barbara

and her talks about Africa in retirement homes, not to mention her

publications. Keep on walking a
mile, Barbara. Mayberry Hill is theplace to do it. Mary Eloise
Carpenter Sloan writes, “Reading,
committee work and needlepoint
take up most of my time.”
Elizabeth “Liz” Grimes Smith may
be seen more frequently in New
London now that her daughter has
moved there. Harriett Gray
Vangsness continues to enjoy good
health and is active in four exercise
classes each week, and helping
friends in assisted living and nursing homes. Besides nine grandchildren, she has four great-grandchildren. In answer to a postcard I sent
to Katharine Bonney, I received a
note from someone handling her
affairs saying, “Kay continues as
well as can be expected. She is
always very happy when I talk to
her about CSC although she cannot verbalize her thoughts. Kay celebrated her 90th birthday in May
with staff and residents at
Pomperaug Woods. Greetings to
you and the others at CSC on her
behalf.” Helen Goodwin Yeagle
asks, “Do you remember the view
from the Hill, the sound of the bell
that summoned all, and the many
talents of Dr. Sawyer?” Our
thoughts are with Elinor Clark
Cole as she adjusts to the loss of
her husband Ralph last June.

alone. I’d love to have you visit,
Lutie, and that invitation is extended to anyone who can come. I’m
trying to get Gertrude “Gert” Ball
Humphrey to come up. I was so
pleased to hear from Nancy Gaunt
Bradford, who says that it has been
very warm in Denver. She is using
a walker and needs oxygen. She
asked about Genevieve “Gen”
Millar. I have seen Gen several
times and she seems very well. She
is still living in her house but has
around-the-clock care. I’m still hanging in there. I work one day a week
in the Town Archives, which moved
to what was the Old Academy
Building. The Police Dept. took over
the Town Hall where we used to be
and the Academy Building was given
to the town by the college. I also do
oral histories of many of the townspeople which is very interesting. The
New London Historical Society also
keeps me busy. I sadly report that
Jane Chase Quinn and Nome
Thomas Seiler passed away. Nome’s
husband is in a nursing home. Please
keep the news coming!
Barbara Johnson Stearns ’32 and Anna Gay Rich, a ’27 graduate of Colby Academy, were special guests at the Reunion
Banquet in June. Barb was a member of the Board of Trustees
from 1957-1973 and was named Trustee Emerita in 1974. She
received the Alumni Service Award in ’81 and the Colby-Sawyer
Town Award in ’99. Anna has a strong family legacy. Her brother, Paul Gay, graduated from the Academy in 1918 and her husband, Kenneth Rich, graduated in 1925.

I’m very proud of our class. I
received 15 replies to my appeal for
news. Mary Kennon Robertson
wrote to me about a mutual friend
of ours but never told me a thing
about herself. I am assuming all is
well with you, Mary. Margaret

Scott and Dick still live in New
London. Granddaughter Tiffany is
still skating and she is very good.
The last two grandchildren graduated from HS in June. She has one
great-grandson living in PA and she
speaks to him often. Eight months
ago, Barbara Wilson Lenox moved
to a health care facility and says it
was the right thing to do. The people are very nice and there are
planned activities. She went to
Jekyll Is., GA last April to an
Elderhostel on Jazz History and the
Barrier Islands. It was great fun and
she hopes to attend more. Eleanor
Pillsbury is not well but is receiving good care in the Avery Manor
Nursing Home in Needham
Heights, MA. It would be nice if
everyone sent her a card. She sends
her love and greetings. Harriet
Isherwood Power spent Easter in
FL with her family plus a new
great-granddaughter, her seventh.
This was the year for Helen
Estabrooks Tebo’s great-grandchildren to get married. One greatgranddaughter and her 13-year-old
are living with her now. Betty Ball
Hughes broke her leg in March, is
back on a cane, and is thankful for
family. She is lucky to have a new
great-granddaughter named for her.
Evelyn Kelley says, “Life is exciting,
even at 88.” She enjoys walking,
exercising and keeping company
with a few friends at Mission
Towers. She has meals delivered, so
feels spoiled with no cooking or
dishes to do. Lutie Grinnell

Greetings to all. Our 65th reunion
is gone but not forgotten. The
weekend was full of happy times,
wonderful get-togethers and special
programs from which we all gained
knowledge. Knowing that age has
caught up with us, CSC students
34
drove us to and from our destinations in golf carts. There were three
who attended with me from our
class: Barbara “Crampy”
Crampton Jones from MA, Ina
Faulkner Bourgard from CT, and
Marjorie Rolfe from NH. Dorothy
Cooper, my dear roommate, could
not come because of her health, but
she was present in spirit. She wrote,
“Hi, dear classmates. I wish I were
there with you. I have carried your
love and friendships all my life
since 1935. We shared laughter and
what wonderful memories I have
recalled and woven in my heartfelt
Tapestry of Life. To those who have
passed on, to live in the hearts left
behind is not to die. My love and
loyalty always.” Annette “Ann”
Briggs Young sent an album of
class and college photos for the
archives. A classmate had prepared
it years ago. Ann was married for
55 years until her husband died in
1995. She has moved to an assisted
living apartment in Galveston, TX
near her daughter. She attends
occasional plays and entertainment.
Thanks, Ann, for your gift and
affection for our college. Elizabeth
“Lib” Smith Angier lives in So.
Yarmouth and prefers to be called
“Beth.” She writes, “We are a growing family with three daughters,
three sons-in-law, nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
We have been active volunteers at
Cape Cod Hospital, a local nursing
home, and the Salvation Army. We
are now active in a retirement community. As airline people, we have
enjoyed extensive travel but recently we have settled down to short
visits with family.” Barbara Stone
Cornwell wrote, “How I wish we
could have been with you in New
London. My husband Jack has had
three episodes of open-heart
surgery but he would have made
the trip if I agreed. It might have
been easier said than done. My HS
friend bought a home in New
London. What a coincidence. Best
to all!” Ina Faulkner Bourgard said,
“Frank and I were married 57 years
until his death at 93 in ’97. We
have two sons, two daughters-inlaw, four grandchildren, one greatgrandchild, and another due in
March. We were lucky to travel
extensively in Europe and the US.
In our younger days, Frank and I
were involved in Meals On Wheels
and worked in a soup kitchen. Son
Stephen lives in Virginia Beach so
when I visit, Jackie and I have
lunch together.” Many thanks to all
who represented the class of 1935
at reunion and much affection to
those who were absent but always
in our thoughts.

Reunion Weekend is June 1-3,
2001 and our class will be celebrating its 65th reunion. Please set the
date aside and plan to return for a
weekend of celebration. Thanks to
all who sent in news and answered
my question, “Didn’t you enjoy the
Spring/Summer issue of the
Alumni Magazine?” They did!
Trude Brauner Rose went to HI in
Sept. for a month. Beulah Carrigan
Crosby is still volunteering in the
thrift shop at her church and
enjoying her three grandchildren.
She spent part of the summer in
ME. Judith “Judy” Clarke Kitchen
is enjoying life at Laurel Mead to
the fullest and the many activities
and programs. Her latest interest is
the stained glass workshop and she
is attempting to do a window
depicting a Chinese fairy tale, The
Magic Brocade. In July, Judy visited
New London and Colby-Sawyer
with her daughter Martha. They
went on a tour of the campus and
her old dorm. Judy was delighted
to see how wonderful the college
looks. Son Steve and grandson
Ryan visited in Aug. for a week.
Lots of news from Miriam “Mimi”
Clemmer Wakelin, who is living in
Kennebunk, ME. She feels fortunate to have most of her family and
grandchildren living in ME where
they have spent many summers
together at Biddeford Pool. One of
her neighbors is Lois Alley
Ferguson ’37. “Small world” experiences are very special. Her sister-inlaw Emily Morgan Clemmer ’45
and her daughters are also CSC
grads and are very dear to her, as is
her oldest and dearest friend
Martha Ware ’37 with whom she’s
kept in close touch for almost 65
years. Mimi noted the news of the
death of her sister-in-law Virginia
Wakelin Oldershaw on Sept. 3, ’99
after a long bout with cancer.
Athelyn Gay Hale made a quick

on to Asheville, NC where her
other brother lives. Marjorie

moved from her apartment to a
retirement place. She has a nice
villa and feels much safer there.
Daughter Jean came from TN at
Christmas and the family was
together at daughter Helen’s in
Orlando. Geraldine “Jerry”
McKewen Bateman spent the summer in Sunapee. She still enjoys
singing in the church choir, community chorus, and two other
smaller singing groups. She is
expecting two more great-grandchildren bringing the total to eight.
Constance Mason Lane wrote that
at the alumni reunion luncheon at
BU’s College of Hotel
Administration on May 30, the
school announced that a named
scholarship had been created to
honor the memory of her husband
who was the founding director and
guiding force for the school. The
Harold Lane Memorial Fund will
assist a student or students meet
financial needs for their college
education. Understandably the
family feels very grateful and honored. That happy event was followed on May 21 by the graduation from UVM of Connie’s oldest
grandson Travis. Grandson Tim
graduated from HS on his 18th
birthday in June. I, Barbara, am
still working at Cricenti’s Market
running the flower shop and loving
it. It was good to hear from so
many classmates and I look forward
to receiving news from the rest of
my class. Sincere condolences to
the family of Virginia Wakelin

Stuart Lydiard Patterson in
Calgary, Alberta is busy helping her
middle daughter, who is recovering
from a cancer operation. Her other
daughter who teaches in Korea was
home for a few weeks. Stuart is still
in her home with some help and
expected to renew her driver’s
license for another year. I received a
nice note from Mary Trafton
Simonds who was preparing for a
fun trip in April to celebrate son
Bill’s 50th birthday. They were off
to Paris and a week on a barge.
Mary spent a second week visiting
a cousin in West Sussex. She had
two cataract operations and only
wears glasses to read up close.

Thanks to all who were so good to
send me lots of news. Marguerite
“Margie” Hale Dulac is at the
Clover Living Center in Auburn,
ME. She is meeting new friends,
going on outings, and enjoying the
food. She wishes all of you “happy
golden years.” Barbara “Mixie”
Mix Wells’s daughter Lucy

feature article about her mother in
the April Wicked Good Calendar.
Lucy said that Dr. Sawyer referred
to Barbara as the only student who
arrived at CJC on a bicycle. Does
that surprise you? Margaret
“Margie” Carter Colony had a surprise 80th birthday party with all

“Shush” Orent Hudler and her
husband are ardent travelers. This
year it’s Italy and Sicily, a barge trip
on the canals of Burgundy, France,
and a trip to Spain and Portugal.
Last winter, while home between

lunch in Boca Raton, FL. Reading,
knitting and golf keep her busy.
Lucienne “Cinny” Jones Albro
enjoys an Oriental Vestamyd rug

Reunion was great and we had a
good turnout! We missed all of you
who couldn’t be there. Helen
“Tripp” Tripp Davies wrote a
beautiful saga of her fascinating
family. Eldest son, just home from
Lima, Peru on a Fulbright and
Guggenheim Fellowship, was visiting at the time of our reunion. Two
other sons, seven granddaughters
and four grandsons, plus traveling
and a fun whack at the game of
36
golf keep her “a goin’,” as she puts
it. Joan Webber Plummer is happy
since she broke her promise not to
retire to ME. In spite of being widowed in ’96 and having a double
cardiac by-pass in ’97, she keeps
herself very busy in Kennebunk,
ME. Her kids have been busy, too,
as she notes sixteen grandchildren
and six greats! So good to see
Mercie Franke Dunfee ’41MT at
reunion! She and Gordon have
recently moved to The Highlands
in Topsham, ME, after 41 years at
the Jersey shore. Harriet “Tilly”
Tillinghast Fuller has macular
degeneration, but she and her husband continue to travel the world
over. She says she is still able to
deliver Meals on Wheels. Two kids
and seven grandchildren live within
a few hours drive. It was great fun
to see Harriet “Wicky” or “Toddy”
Wickham Gorman and Bill at
reunion, up from Tangerine, FL
where they’ve been living for 29
years. Busy, busy they are on their
eight acres of woods. Golf, gardening, and a menagerie (4 dogs and 3
cats) fill their retirement years.
Helen Clark Hall ’41MT has
recovered from the accident that
left her with a broken vertebra and
pneumonia. It was a treat to see
Margery “Miggs” Tunison Hoch
’41MT at reunion. She and Gene
have a spring sugaring operation
and a large vegetable garden, and
spend winters hiking and skiing.
Miggs serves as treasurer of a local
charitable organization. Eleanor
“Ellie” Bernert Sheldon came up
from NYC for reunion, but Nancy
White Simpson couldn’t make it.
She wrote: “Married housewife living in 1820’s home on 80 acres in

yearly Betsy James Wyeth’s husband Andrew and son Jamie are
joined by volunteers who enjoy the
work and adventure of rounding up
the sheep on Allen Island which is
owned by the Wyeth family. The
sheep keep the fields from turning
back to woods. Mary Louise
Williams Haskell went on a crosscountry ski weekend with her son
and family in Feb. and enjoyed a
barge trip in France in May with
daughter Sarah Haskell ’70 and
family. They also spent five days in
Paris. Margaret “Margie” Law put
a new top on her antique baby blue

to Scotland in March to celebrate
her 80th birthday and Spain in
April. I had a good visit with Mary
Robins Abbey who bunked in with
me here on Ragged Mountain. She
has retired from her volunteer work
in the hospital auxiliary and gift
shop. She is a trustee and member
of capital funds and building committees at her church. She and Carl
have a daughter and son-in-law
nearby; a son is in CA. They are
grandparents to two Rottweilers,
one Golden Retriever, and a
Belgian Warmblood show horse.
Margaret “Peg” Van Duser Bell’s
days are still happily full of activities, thanks to good health, good
family, and good neighbors. She
travels several times a year. A trip to
CA and Seattle brought a visit with
Joe and Rosemary “Petie”
Gamwell McCrudden in their
home in Sequim. Elizabeth
Thomas Densmore enjoys hiking,
biking, bird watching and her
church activities. She is also
involved in playing three concerts
with the Nevers Band. Still “perking along” in FL is Jeanne Schwob
Homer. Although her family is
scattered, they manage to visit each
other several times a year. The year
2000 marked her 26th year in FL
and 57th wedding anniversary. She
and Bill enjoy theatre, good
movies, books, and visits from
friends and family. Barbara
Buckley Maner has been a widow
since Jan. ’84. She moved two years
ago from her in-town house to a
smaller townhouse at “The
Marshes” which is quiet, has lovely
views, and is just ten minutes from
Savannah, GA. She takes arthritic
water exercises three times a week
and does some church work. After
49 years of enjoying their home in
Smithville-Absecon, NJ, Eileen
Mattis O’Brien and Richard
moved to a smaller home in an
active adult community just a few
miles away. Winters are spent in
Sarasota, FL but they fly home for
Christmas. Juliette “Judy” Conover

to an assisted living facility in MA.
She finally retired from the law in
July ’98. She will also be selling her
house in Walpole. The double
move boggles my mind! Keep us
posted on your new address, Janice.

are moving from their farm to a
retirement community. Their children and grandchildren are all
thriving, and Joanie is looking forward to our 60th Reunion.
Memorial Day evening, Anne
Weston Miller called and surprised
me by putting Kumari Paul Batra
on the phone. She and Brij were in
Brookline for the graduation of her

came from Claire Basch Barger ’42,
who was trying to connect with Big
Sister Eleanor “Ellie” Sanford

Last summer Doc and I camped
around Baltimore, MD for a couple
of conventions and went sightseeing in Washington, DC with the
grandchildren. Then we went to
Ancaster, Ontario, and Casper, WY
37
for more round and square dancing
conventions. Jim and Anne Abbott
Herdic spent another winter at
their home in St. Petersburg, FL
where they played lots of golf and
renewed old friendships.
Granddaughter Julie Herdic, who
played on the high school soccer
team which won the GA state
championship, was featured in
Sports Illustrated. Julie has scored
147 goals, just two short of the
record! Jean Spencer Brown and
Bob have seven grandchildren and
they travel in style to visit them in
their Bounder RV with two TV’s
and a microwave. They spent a
month last winter in FL. With 10
grandchildren living in New
England, plus their involvement in
their community, Jean Stewart
Hilton and her husband keep very
busy. They took a lovely boat trip
to HI last fall and planned a Sept.
trip to Paris and London. Jean
Wackerbarth Hadidian and Dikran
moved to San Jose, CA to be near
son Andrew, his wife and two
daughters, but spent last summer at
Dodge Pond. Jean wrote that it
wasn’t an easy job moving from
their large home with its 33 years
of accumulation, plus the business,
to a town house - but they survived! Jane Hamlin Horton and
Ernie planned to visit NH and VT
this past summer. Her sister lives at
Kendal in Hanover. Ernie is an
independent geologist while Jane is
involved with church work and
painting. Jean Thurman Ramsey
and Frank also planned to spend
the summer in New London.
Guess where Meredith “Mooge”
Munsey Craig was when the Call
for ’43 News came? She was in New
London, NH having a wonderful
time at her granddaughter’s graduation. Contributing to a perfect
weekend was Mary “Shy” Scheu
Teach as hostess with the mostest.
Priscilla Coan Barnes wrote that
two grandsons were getting married
in summer 2000 and two granddaughters were already married.
Their great-grandson was to be the
ring bearer in one wedding. Living
in the foothills of the beautiful
Ozark Mountains in northwest AR,
about a mile from the OK border
and thirty miles from MO, allows
them to enjoy the four seasons.
Patricia “Pat” Stickel Crandall and
Steve celebrated their 50th wedding
anniversary by driving to FL in Jan.
to visit former ushers and bridesmaids. In Nov. ’99, they invited
100 friends to help celebrate at Bull
Finch’s in Sudbury where their sonin-law plays bass regularly. Pat still
gives tours of Symphony Hall in
Boston and often visits their
daughter, son-in-law, and threeyear-old grandchild who live nearby. Last June, they planned to visit
their son in Wiesbaden, Germany.
Priscilla “Puss” Parker Craig has
moved to Venice, FL. Daughter
Judith, whose husband David succumbed to A.L.S. a year ago, has a
daughter at Dartmouth and a son
in HS. If you fly Delta you may
meet the Craig’s daughter Donna
who is a flight attendant. Missy
and her husband are living in
Kona, HI. By the time you read
this perhaps Sally King Cramer
will have met her 7th grandchild.
Sally spent three weeks in Tobago
where youngest daughter Shelley
lives, and the baby boy was born
two days after she left! Shelley’s two
girls were also born in the
Caribbean. Shy and Sally took a
10-day tour to Costa Rica in April
visiting coffee, banana, and butterfly plantations along with river and
other trips. Sally is still working in
real estate in Williamstown, MA.
Carolyn Sigourney Holtz continues to paint and draw. Her most
exciting sketches are from the
Marquessas, following Jacques Brell
and Melville. Husband Merriman
just celebrated his 50th reunion at
Yale. Elizabeth “Betty” Everill
Henderson recently had a wonderful trip to Spain, Portugal, and
Morocco. When home she keeps
busy with volunteer work and
bridge. Seven of her 11 grandchildren live nearby. “Not much news
since Tom had his heart attack,”
wrote Shirley Hobbs Craven. They
exercise together three times a
week, and love the ME coast and
dining out. Shirley belongs to the
No. Shore Music Hall and a Bible
study group, gardens, plays bocce
ball, and enjoys going to Bretton
Woods in the White Mts. They
have one grandson. Margaret
“Margo” DeGraff Hotaling was
trying to put together a minireunion with Jean Aronson Rea,
Barbara “Connie” Constantine
Johnson, Marjorie “Marge”
Campbell Upson, Patricia “Pat”
Stickel Crandall, and Elizabeth
“Libby” Floyd Knowlton before
she went on another cruise with
her family this fall. Margo is thoroughly enjoying “Colby,” her beautiful German Shepherd puppy. Shy
Teach shared with me the story of
Enid Belden Logan’s path from
disaster to joy, which began when a
medical accident robbed her of her
hearing and kidney function. Seven
years later she had a working kidney donated by her identical twin
sister and a new type of cochlear
implant and she married the doctor
who stood by her side the whole
time! Shy also shared a picture of a
very surprised Sally King Cramer
with the perfect present for her
75th birthday...a CSC afghan.
Dorothea “Dot” Gay Bewley and
Jim were recipients in June of the
New London Service
Organization’s “Third of a Century
Award,” which honors those who
have lived and worked in New
London for more than 33 years and
who have contributed significantly
to the life of the town. Former
recipients include William Kidder,
H. Leslie Sawyer, J. Duane Squires,
and M. Roy London. Dot’s father
received the award in 1968.
Congratulations, Dot and Jim! Jean
Aronson Rea, whose husband Dave
died at Thanksgiving a year ago,
shared what daughter Kit wrote
about her father: “If he had to go,
it was the best day of the year,
because now I have more to be
thankful for, in thinking of what
my Dad gave to me.” Heartfelt
condolences to the family of

2001 and we will be celebrating
our 45th reunion. Save the date
and plan to return to campus!
When Ed and I were at CSC in
early June, we saw the restored
dome on our cupola. Thanks to a
generous gift from Ernestine
Bellamy Firth, there is now a stunning new weather vane to replace
the one that had been leaning for
years. Please, everyone take heed to
what Nancy Morris Adams said in
her newsy letter, “it’s about time I
contributed to the alumni news.”
Since Sam sold his ski business two
years ago, he and Nancy spend
time traveling around the west in
their VW camper visiting friends
and family and enjoying hiking,
fishing, and as many outdoor activities as possible. Nancy still does
her Travel to Music group tours.
They are now summer residents in
Jonesport, ME as they are remodeling a home there. They still have
their home in Lincoln, NH. In
March, Ed and I visited my sister
Barbara Hoyt Baker ’49MT and
then went over to Key Biscayne to
attend the Ericsson tennis tournament. While in Naples I called Jane
Veckly Soffel who spends two
months each summer in upstate
NY. Their three children are in
DC, NY and MI. By the time you
read this column, the reunion questionnaires will not be far behind.
Please fill one out whether you plan
to attend our 45th or not. Anyone
who would like to help with
reunion should contact the Alumni

lives in NYC and does a series of
freelance jobs that have been very
rewarding. A more flexible schedule
allows her time with her aging parents and with her sister Sharon
“Misty” Spreter Lee ’72 and two
nieces. In ’98, she was diagnosed
with thyroid cancer, had surgery
and now takes medication every
day. She is happy to report that
she’s fine. She has been in touch
with her roommate Christy Hoyt

very heavy accent but other than
that, she said it was like nothing
had changed between them after all
those years. Barbara Griffith
Stevens and Philip live in Darien,
CT and have a son and a daughter.
After her family moved from
Buffalo to New London in the
summer of ’70, Nancy Teach
managed to settle into the community quite comfortably. She has a

in SF. For the past 15 yrs., Nancy
has worked at CSC in a variety of
jobs - residential life, admissions,
and academic advising. Deborah

years ago and settled in Bozeman,
MT where they own and operate

busy but winters afford them time

involved in the travel industry,
operating her office from the B&B.
Son Jon is finishing his last year at
MT State U. Jeanette Colardo

During the 1999-2000 year, the Student Calling Program raised over $186,000 for the
Annual Fund. Over 24,000 calls were made, resulting in 5,500 pledges. These dedicated student ambassadors enjoy contacting alumni, parents, and friends. This initiative provides an
opportunity for alumni and others to talk to the most important members of the college community, our students. They share news about Colby-Sawyer College, update information, and
ask for support for the institution.

Annual Report
Why I chose to support
Colby-Sawyer College
“I consider giving to the institutions
I believe in an obligation.
Having learned this habit from my parents,
giving to me seems akin to breathing.
Teaching at Colby-Sawyer has been
akin to breathing too, so I have a fully
formed obligation to support the college
which has supported
my scholarship and teaching.”

Why I chose to support
Colby-Sawyer College
“Colleges depend on constituent giving and
I believe in giving every year.
I loved Colby-Sawyer during my two years and my
daughter, Elizabeth Holloway ’87, adored her four
years there. I am very pleased to see the
school’s upward progress!”

Ways To Give To
Colby-Sawyer College
Gifts to Colby-Sawyer College can be made in many ways, and mayyield very attractive tax benefits.
Listed below are ways in which you can contribute to Colby-Sawyer.
Cash
Real Estate
Gifts of cash are deductible up to
50% of a donor’s adjusted gross
income (AGI). Any excess can be
carried over for five years.
Gifts of real estate may be made to
the college outright, in whole or in
part, through transfer in a bargain
sale, or to fund a gift annuity or unitrust. Donors may also contribute
real estate to the college while reserving the right to occupy the property
during their lifetime. Each approach
has specific estate and tax benefits.
Matching Gifts
Corporate matching gift program
companies allow employees to effectively double or triple their gifts to
Colby-Sawyer College. Typically, the
employee obtains a company form
and submits it to the college with
his/her contribution. Please check
with your human resources department for more information.
Gifts-In-Kind
Tangible personal gifts of property,
art objects, jewelry, silver, and
antiques can be donated to the college for educational purposes or for
resale. Tax deductibility will vary.
Personal property may also be contributed to a trust which will produce income for the donor while
avoiding or reducing taxes.
Securities
Gifts of appreciated stocks (including mutual funds), bonds, and other
securities may offer considerable capital-gains tax savings.
Planned Gifts
Life income gifts bring donors many
benefits, including income for life or
for a term of years, income for a second beneficiary, and reductions in
income, capital gains, gift, or estate
taxes. These gifts take many forms
including annuities, remainder
trusts, life insurance, and bequests.
As a donor, you may wish to plan
your future giving to work to your
advantage as well as benefitting the
college. Please contact the ColbySawyer College Office of Planned
Giving (603) 526-3723 or consult
with your financial advisor, tax attorney for more information.

Emma Duffet Langner ’41,
Member of The Greatest Generation.
“This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.”
– Franklin Delano Roosevelt –
In the title of his book The Greatest Generation, author Tom
Brokaw is referring to those men and women who served this
country during World War II. As Brokaw says, “It was a critical
time in the shaping of the nation and the world.” And there were
many from Colby Junior College who had a hand in that shaping. In fact, during a Founder’s Day assembly in 1942, President
H. Leslie Sawyer unfurled a special flag honoring 87 alumnae of
Colby Junior College who were at that time serving in branches
of the armed forces.
One of those honored was Business graduate Isabelle Emma
Duffett Langner ’41 (above in Navy uniform circa 1943). Emma,
as she is known, comes from a long line of those who attended
our college, dating back to the Civil War. Her father and mother
both attended Colby Academy. Three of Emma’s aunts and her
maternal grandfather graduated from Colby Academy. Both of
her maternal great-grandparents attended the school when it was
called the New London Literary and Scientific Institution in
1860. In addition, Emma has six cousins who graduated from
our college.
Upon graduation, Emma obtained a good job in Concord, New
Hampshire, with the state advertising agency. However, conflict
raged in Europe and in the Pacific, and she was, as Brokaw
described these patriots, one of the “young men and women who
were eager to be assigned to help win the war. They understood
what was required of them, and they willingly volunteered for duty.”
A
fter training at Hunter College in New York and at
Aerographer’s School at Lakehurst, New Jersey, Emma was a
WAVE (Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service)
assigned to the Naval Air Station at Opa-Locka, Florida, where
fighter pilots trained. As an aerographer (meteorologist), one of
Emma’s numerous duties was to receive weather reports in code,
decode them, and post them so the pilots would know what conditions they were facing on training missions.
Emma is a modest woman. She feels she did nothing special in
leaving the safety of job and home to join the armed forces
because, as she says, “everyone in the country was contributing to
winning the war.” Perhaps it is this sense of selflessness and duty
that makes all Americans proud of the generation that saved the
world, and perhaps it’s why there is never a whisper of disagreement when they are called our “Greatest Generation.”
