Chester “Chet” S. Williams, Ph.D., is at the Nevada Veterans Home (sailorprof.williams@gmail.com), where he has lived for two years after selling his home in Boulder City, Nevada, after the death of his wife, Beverly. He retired from Texas A&M in 2002. He says he was, “an old-time Big Green Glee Clubber,” and now plays the accordion at the local senior center and harmonica and guitar with the Nevada Old Time Fiddlers on a regular basis! Chet wonders if there are any Theta Delta Chi men still around.

Albert Combes’ daughter, Sally, has written saying her father has moved from Lenox, Massachusetts, to Northfield, Vermont, to be nearer his younger family. She tells me her father once visited Big Green Farms but found no one home. Sorry about that! The farms were sold last year to other good farmers, so the land will still be productive. That pleases me!

Millie Steel, widow of Bill Steel, writes about the bonus of living so near Hanover. She lives with a daughter in Meredith, New Hampshire. She hears many current guest speakers at the College. In October Salman Rushdie was in Sanborn, promoting his new book, Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-eight Nights, a retelling of “One Thousand and One Nights” set in contemporary New York City. Meredith is near Plainfield, New Hampshire, and that is the mailing address she uses. Dum vivimus vivamus!
