I have had an interesting note from Pat Stillman, Don Stillman’s widow. She is living near Orlando, Florida, now (450 Village Place, Longwood, FL 32779). Surely many of us remember Pat because she and Don were very active in class activities. They had retired to a pretty area in Jupiter, Florida. “We were right on the ocean and loved it,” Pat writes, “but Don had a very bad back and could do less and less. This place [in Longwood] has a good repair department. Don actually wound up in the health center for four years. So I, like you, live alone and it is boring! I have never lived anywhere so long, having been born into the Marine Corps and raised all over the world. Guess this is a good solution. I am fine—but bored!” I ache for you, Pat! Five bridge games a week keep me interested and awake. I do not travel anymore, so cannot consider another class of ’41 reunion, but son Peter (now deceased) drove me to Hanover for the 70th and I had a glorious time at the Hanover Inn. I envy anyone who can return for a 75th!

It was just this past month that I learned of Dick Hill’s demise. This is a terrific loss to the class and to Dartmouth. Aren’t we fortunate to have had him!

Dum vivimus vivamus!
