Word has been received of the death of Richard H. Hinman on February 2. “Bull,” as he was known to many close to him, was a strong supporter of the athletic sponsors of the College. Dick had a distinguished business career as well as a distinguished military career in the U.S. Air Corps in World War II. Dick will be missed by all who knew him. He leaves his wife of 65 years, Barbara, and five children. Services will be held at 11 a.m. on May 31 at the Saint Andrews Episcopal Church, 52 Gould Road, New London, New Hampshire. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to Cardigan Mountain School, 62 Alumni Drive, Canaan, NH 03741.


I have a list of people I know


All written in a book


And every year at Christmastime


I go and take a look.


And that is when I realize


That those names are a part


Not of the book they’re written in


But of my very heart.


For each name stands for someone


Who has crossed my path some time


And in that meeting they’ve become


A treasured friend of mine.


And once you’ve met some people


The years cannot erase


The memory of a pleasant word


Or a friendly face.


So when I send a Christmas card


That is addressed to you


It’s because you’re on that list


Of folks I’m indebted to.


And you are one of the many folks who


In times past I’ve met


And happen to be one of those


I don’t want to forget.


And whether I have known you for


Many years or few


In some way you have a part in


Shaping things I do.


This, the spirit of Christmas, that


Forever and ever endures


May it leave its richest blessing


In the hearts of you and yours.


Just a reminder that the monthly luncheons at the Norwich (Vermont) Inn are scheduled for the second Thursday of the month during March and April then will return to the usual second Tuesday from May on.
