Had a great chat with Bob Lieder, who has lived in Sun Valley, Idaho, for several years. He loves to relate his plethora of Hanover stories, including the Beta-Psi U tag-team bike race to Northampton, Massachusetts, with a glorious picnic afterward. He had three fine years serving with the Marines on Okinawa. Bob married Lucy Buck, the love of his life who has passed away after 46 great years. He invites any and all to the great trout fishing in Idaho. Bob also sees Gordy Russell from time to time.
Iris and Bob Fanger are spending two months in Sarasota, Florida. Iris Fanger, ballet critic for The Boston Globe, will give a lecture to a group in Sarasota on her experiences in that position. Bob related that Mary Lynn and Nick Kotz are just down the road. I subsequently had a lovely interface with Nick. Both of the Kotzes are well along on new books. Mary Lynn’s Upstairs at the White House is on the bestseller list for the third time since its original printing in the 1970s. Nick is writing about his last 40 years as a journalist. Susan and Bill Lenderking were coming to visit them at the beginning of March.
We proudly report that the town of Needham, Massachusetts, named its new municipal building in the memory of Jack Cogswell, longtime trustee and town leader.
There is no news as yet about rebuilding the Hellgate Gorge Cabin, which was lost in a chimney fire November 15, 2019. Watch for volunteer opportunities to assist in the rebuilding or contributions.
Sadly, we report the passing of H. Ogden Morse Jr., William Rollins, Peter Terplan, M.D.,and Walter Van Dorn.
