Class Note 1955
Issue
May - Jun 2018
Another veteran with tales to tell: Art Smith, Army ROTC, was assigned to the 71st Ordnance Division and served two years in Munich, Germany. Art then worked for the New York Telephone Co. as personnel manager and retired in 1991. He received corporate awards as chairman of the local United Fund campaign. He and Marilyn lived in New Canaan, Connecticut, where he did lots of interviewing for the College. Art and Herb Darling had been roommates, and they married roommates from Colby (Marilyn and Jane). Both couples had daughters on the same day. In 2002 the Smiths moved to Annapolis, Maryland. They also spend summers on the east end of Long Island in Mattituck, New York. In Annapolis, Art has been active in the chorus and volunteers to help homebound folks. Because of the aches and pains that are plaguing many of us, he and Marilyn are planning to move to an Ashburn, Virginia, life-care facility.
Kilt Andrew worked at L.L. Bean for 15 years, which he says “was not very long,” and speaks with some fondness of Bean’s old warranty, which essentially meant forever. It is not surprising that recent exploitation of said warranty has caused Bean to be a bit more conservative and now offer just a reasonable replacement. Kilt spends his free time caring for 200-plus acres of timber in the Sebago Lake, Maine, area. He can see Mount Washington from the high ground. He walked the hillside the day of this writing in late February and says there is snow in the woods. Remember Frost’s “Mending Wall”? Kilt says it is important to walk the boundaries on a regular basis. Kilt’s sister, Martha, is married to Bob Timothy ’58, and their farm abuts his woodlot. Hard physical labor in the woods causes him to say, “Push the envelope, or it will fold up on you.” He undoubtedly learned this from his father, who, in 1923, drove a herd of cattle from his home in Littleton, New Hampshire, through the Hanover Green and on to Canaan, New Hampshire.
Sadly, we report the passing of the Rev. Jim Cavanaugh, Randy Hayes and Scott Rutherford.
