I hope that you have had a joyous holiday season and wish you a bright and happy New Year.

The following are very brief updates of campus news.

The Hood Museum received the gift of the archive of photojournalist James Nachtwey ’70. Certainly a treasure all will enjoy in future years.

The Hood Museum Downtown, located in the Nugget block, is now open for browsing while renovations continue to the main museum.

Early stages of consideration of expanding the campus westward, including a walking-biking trail from the Green to the river, were mentioned in a recent publication.

The planned new indoor practice facility continues the process of meetings with the Hanover planning board.

Sadly I report the following deaths and send our condolences to their families.

Theodore P. Swick died May 13, 2014. He is survived by two children and his brother, Thomas ’43, Tu’48. Ted was a lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps and served in World War II and Korean War. He was an investment banker for nearly 40 years. At college he was a member of the V-12 program and Phi Gamma Delta and played football and lacrosse.

Richard Owen died November 20, 2015. He is survived by sons David ’90 and Carl. Dick was an Army Air Corps navigator in the Pacific. After his return to college and completing his degree, he continued on to Harvard Law School. President Nixon appointed him to the federal bench, where Judge Owen presided for almost 40 years. He also pursued his other passion: music. He composed nine operas that have been performed and acclaimed in the United States and Europe. Dick was a member of Psi Upsilon and the Yacht Club.

As always I would love to hear from you with a special memory of your time here, maybe a contrast of before the war and after your return, your freshman trip or the lifelong friendships you made here.
