ALUMNI DIRECTOR In the past four years I have served as Athletic Director, Library Aide, JV Girls Basketball Coach and Assistant Baseball Coach here at Fryeburg. Now it is time to try on another hat at the Academy. I am very proud to have been named as the next Alumni Director at the Academy. Now I know it will be impossible to fill the shoes of Rachel Andrews Damon ‘76; I just hope to be able to bring the same quality and standards to this position that she did. I am looking forward to this new challenge as this is a totally different path for me; yet, at the same time, I have a very comfortable feeling about the new adventures that lie ahead. I have had a long history with the Todd Gallagher ‘82-FA’s Alumni Director Academy, as eight family members have attended Fryeburg over the last 82 years. My father, Ralph Gallagher, was in the Class of ‘44, while my uncle, John Gallagher, was in the Class of ‘46. Their two sisters, Cecelia Gallagher Gilman and Ruth Gallagher Hill, were both in the Class of ‘40. My uncle, Myron Gilman, was in the Class of ‘31 and my uncle, Ralph Hill, was in the Class of ‘36. My brother, Larry Gallagher, was in the Class of ‘64 and my sister, Jill Gallagher Sanphy, was in the Class of ‘72. Being the final graduate in ‘82 has given me a lot of stories and memories to fall back on in this field. It has been a pleasure to come back to the Academy and experience a number of different opportunities in the last four years. I see the Alumni Director’s position as one of continuing care for the school. John Kennedy once said, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Well, this is the same concept I have for the Academy. Remember what this school did for you. It gave you not only an education, but it gave you the Todd Gallagher ‘82 - photo from the old days friendships, the relationships and, most of all, the memories that last a lifetime. As each Todd playing baseball for FA. year passes, a new class is sent out into the world to make their mark. You are an alum from the day you leave the Academy, not just 20 years after you graduate. So it will be one of my goals to bring the younger alumni back into the Academy mix. This will be done by working with the students while they are still here and showing them what an important part of the Academy alumni are. The school is experiencing a number of facelifts this summer and will have yet another new look in the fall. Constant change is allowing the Academy to not only keep up, but to stay ahead in serving our student population. We all remember the look of the campus in “our day”, but one must remember that the new look is the look in “their day”. We were proud of the Academy when we were here and they are to be just as proud. I do enjoy the look on the faces of those of you who return and see the growth for the first time. Your reactions and comments are priceless as you look on in amazement at the new surroundings. The Alumni group grows bigger every year and, as we know, there is strength in numbers. Our goal is to bring this group together, young and old, to make this school what it was when you were here and what it is for the next generation. As I start this journey as Alumni Director, I welcome the opportunity to meet with any of you to just discuss the Academy and what it has meant to you. Please feel free to drop in and visit or contact me by e-mail at tgallagher@fryeburgacademy.org, or by phone at 207-935-2001, ext. 3173 Welcome to Todd Gallagher ‘82 - FA’s new Alumni Director - in photo with Tim Even ‘08. Tim is a sophomore at USM.

PUBLIC RELATIONS & ANNUAL GIVING Hello Friends: Life is good. Life is busy. It seems to be the way for everyone these days. We’ve had a great six months since our last issue. Our FA girls softball team won their second state championship in a row. It was an honor to photograph them all the way to the top. The championship game was phenomenal and nerve-wracking. Our girls pulled it off beautifully. Our music groups also took the Maine state championship again - for the fourth year in a row! They are great and talented kids. We graduated almost 200 seniors in the Class of 2009. Even though the weather had been incredibly rainy prior to Commencement, the sun came out in time and we were able to have our ceremony on the front lawn, where the students wanted to be, and it was beautiful. It is always heartening to know that teenagers today love the traditions of this school; and even though we have two brand new buildings, they want to sit and graduate looking at the main building. It emits a sense of pride that I know all of us feel when we see it. And because of that sense of pride, I’ve changed jobs at FA. I have moved into doing more fundraising for the school and given up my role as Alumni Director. Fryeburg Academy relies heavily on private donations. All of our new buildings have been built with private donations - no tax dollars - and that is pretty incredible. My new job will involve asking you to give and I am looking forward to it. As an alum, Mary Ellen Mackin (Brown)-FA Former Faculty (English), a parent, an employee and even a coach (Yes, I actually coached Boys Cheerleading Coach & Former Alumni Director & Rachel Andrews JV Tennis this year!), I am 100% behind this school, its traditions, its Damon ‘76-FA Director of Public Relations & Annual Giving at the values, its mission and, most importantly, its people. We have hired Grand Opening of the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center Todd Gallagher ‘82 as our new Alumni Director. He is a very dediMay 2009 cated alum, a hardworker and a pretty darned funny guy. He will do a fantastic job. As I write, it is a week before Reunion. This year at Reunion we are honoring Mr. Kelly for his first 50 years at FA during the Friday night reception. Mr. K was my biology teacher and probably yours too! While I still can’t dissect a cat and label their parts (nor have I tried since 1976), what I learned from Mr. Kelly was more on a humanitarian level. He continues to be one of the kindest, most sincere, dedicated and loyal people I have ever known. I believe his loyalty to Fryeburg Academy was so strong, that it easily spilled over to his students. It was a privilege, as well, to write his story for this issue of Scenes. In closing, I send you all our best from FA. We will be in touch - but if you want to get in touch first - call FA senior students Dylan Anderson ‘09, Jess DiPietro ‘09, Susan Hannes ‘09 (President of FA ‘s Class me (207) 935-2001 x 3137 or email of 2009) and David Mead ‘09 took time out from their busy schedules to thank all Fryeburg Academy me at rdamon@fryeburgacademy.org. donors. In September, Dylan will attend Stonehill College; Jess-Stonehill College; Be well - Rachel Susan-Carnegie Mellon University & David-University of Arizona

was a time when NOTES & COMMENT There summer brought peace and quiet to school development offices FROM ALUMNI everywhere and the Academy was no exHOUSE ception. It was a time to recharge, regroup, and build momentum for the work of the coming year. Those days, not surprisingly, are long gone and we have reached a time and place where the wheel simply never stops. This is a good thing, of course, for the Academy and its programs which never stop needing resources to improve. Summer has, therefore, become one of the busiest seasons on campus as we all work to make things better for the coming year. Part of this business is to ready the campus for reunion, that quintessential Fryeburg event which will have just passed as you read this. This is my eleventh reunion, so I am pleased to say that I have had an opportunity to meet most of you at least twice since arriving in 1999. Though the good news is that so many of you come back every year and share in the steady stream of new facilities that have enhanced your school over the past 15 years. These facilities, now complete with the opening of the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center this past spring, have come to be thanks to so many devoted alumni and friends of the school. Over $13.4 million was raised for the Phoenix Project; $2.6 million was raised for the Cram Library, and $1.1 million for the Eastman Science Center. No government money, just charitable gifts from alumni and friends just like you.
Tim Scott, FA’s Director of Development
Which leads me to my final comment. The work never stops. This is a very old campus and old buildings always need work. We will need now to build other new facilities to replace those that are getting tired, including the aged building that houses the little room where I am writing this. We could readily fill more dorm rooms if we had them. More faculty could be housed alongside the dorms providing closer supervision. And to round things out, we already need more athletic fields. To accomplish all this, the Trustees have approved an ambitious plan to add to the campus over the next 20 years in a thoughtful and systematic way. Stay tuned… So with summer, and all too soon, fall, we begin anew the search for support as we continually strive to make this school the very best it can be. Thank you for your support in the past, and thank you for considering helping us again in the future. The wheel never stops and we cannot do it without you. Tim Scott, Director of Development & Father of Charlie ’06

DIRECTOR OF GIFT PLANNING
I have written several Fryeburg Planners over the past five years in the hope they would be helpful to our alumni, parents and friends in planning for their estate or to at least provide encouragement for everyone to have a simple will. In the future, the Fryeburg Planner will appear as a link in the Academy’s web page and I encourage you to continue to read it and to keep yourself aware of all of the tax advantages available to you and your family. There comes a time in everyone’s life when we must realize that it’s time to give away all that I have spent a lifetime accumulating – my estate. I have spent my whole life planning to ensure that I will have enough to support myself – during the time I am working and during my retirement. But now I must think about the time when I will no longer be here to manage my financial affairs and will not personally need my money. If I am a faithful steward at the end of my life as I have tried to be during my life, then I must take some time to think through what is important to me and make plans for the gift giving from my estate. In this way my estate will be given to the people I want to receive it in a way that will help and not hinder their initiative and desire to be all that they can be on their own with their own resources. And I can express my faith and what has been of ultimate importance to me. Peter Klomp In this kind of thinking we are acting out St. Paul’s words, “It is better for you to finish now what you FA’s Director of Gift Planning began …” Some years ago, in 1888, Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, the man who had spent his life amassing a fortune from the sale of weapons of destruction, awoke to read his own obituary. The obituary was printed as the result of a simple journalistic error. Alfred’s brother had died, and a French reporter carelessly reported the death of the wrong brother. Any man would be disturbed under the circumstances, but to Alfred Nobel the shock was overwhelming. He saw himself as the world saw him - - “THE DYNAMITE KING,” the great industrialist who made his life’s fortune from explosives. This as far as the public was concerned was the entire purpose of his life. None of his true intentions - -TO BREAK DOWN THE BARRIERS THAT SEPARATED MEN AND IDEAS - - were given serious thought. He was quite simply a merchant of death, and for that alone he would be remembered. As he read his obituary with horror, he resolved to make clear to the world the true meaning and purpose of his life. This could be done through the final disposition of his fortune. His last will and testament would be the expression of his life’s ideals. The result, as you know, is still the most valued of prizes given to those who have done the most for world peace. Clearly, there are a variety of ways for us to organize and approach our personal legacy that allows us to leave a lasting mark. The rewards of the effort can be deeply satisfying. You have shown your belief in the mission of Fryeburg Academy and the education of our students so they can go forward to build a better world. Thank you very much. Peter Klomp
Greetings Alumni - As I approach the end of my 50th year here at Fryeburg Academy, I am looking back fondly over the remarkable growth I have seen in this time span. This growth does not simply mean the physical growth of our wonderful Academy, although that certainly has occurred. We have become, in my humble opinion, one of the finest independent secondary schools in Maine. Why has all this happened? It has happened because of you, our Alumni. Our students of today become our stewards of the future. Your personal experience here in this very special community has promoted spirit, fellowship, and community; and a strong desire and obligation to want to create this same experience for our future generations… your children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and your nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Years ago it was said about me, “Oh, that Scott Kelly… he’s just a dreamer.” I am not sure it was meant as a compliment at the time. What I need to tell you today is that practically every dream I have had for this Academy has been fulfilled, academically and physically. In fact, perhaps sometimes my dreams were not even as great as we have actually achieved! It has gone far beyond my humble expectations. You and I, as Alumni of this community, have not been afraid to dream and to take the necessary action to preserve what we have, a wonderful historical heritage of excellence for our students of today and tomorrow. These past few years we have seen tragedy with the fire; but out of it all, the principles we all received in our time here at the Academy came forth. The Phoenix Project was born, and we rose from the ashes. We will continue to rise and meet any incident or obstacle in the same way because of the vision this school community has… the implementation of values and ideals. I am reminded of an old saying when I think of our experience with the fire… “WHEN THINGS GET TOUGH, THE TOUGH GET GOING.” Isn’t that the truth about us? I want to thank all Alumni Scott Kelly ‘53 got “roasted” at Reunion 2009-in photo for your continued support of this wonderful institution that has been my home with Dave Greenidge ‘66. Stay tuned for Reunion for over 50 years. Your faithful servant - Scott A. Kelly ‘53, Alumni Coordinator

FRYEBURG ACADEMY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Hello Alums: It is a pleasure to be writing to the members (anyone attending at least one semester at Fryeburg Academy and whose class has graduated) of the Fryeburg Academy Alumni Association (FAAA) again as the President. The last couple of years on the Board of Directors for the Academy’s Alumni Association have been full of events. The school has gone through a huge transformation - the Board of Directors of FAAA has also experienced significant changes. The 18-member Board is charged with the financial management of the Association and is also responsible for the social well-being of the Association. The Board has become stronger and more independent in the last few years. We have been fortunate to find new members to join the Board who complement the long-term, seasoned Board members, bringing new ideas and perspectives to the Association. The diversity on the Board ensures that meetings are both exciting and productive. These members have put much time and effort in to ensure that the FAAA remains strong and viable for the years to come for all alumni to enjoy. One area where we have had many long, eventful discussions is our budget. FAAA is not excluded from the tough economic conditions in which we all live, therefore, the Board made some difficult decisions to maintain the financial strength of the Association. For the 2009/2010 year, in an effort to stay financially strong and to extend the life of our dwindling endowment funds, we reduced our operating budget by more than 50%. These decisions did not come easy and, at times, were very emotional. I extend special thanks to the finance committee and all who worked very hard on this project. Because of their hard work, the future of the FAAA is looking brighter and stronger. This will be my last communication to you as it is time to pass the gavel. It has been a great honor to serve as President of the Fryeburg Academy Alumni Association. I have met many wonderful people, and my love for the Academy has strengthened through this journey. It is an easy job when you have an active alumni base. Thank you all for being great alums. Terry MacGillvary ‘81 will be taking over as President and is positioned to lead the FAAA into the future. Good luck Terry, you will do well. Thank you, Bill Perry ‘80, wmlperry72@ gmail.com
First I would like to thank Bill Perry ‘80 for serving the past two years as our president. Bill, you have done an outstanding job and will be a hard act to follow. I would also like to thank the Board for giving me this opportunity to lead the Board and its membership for the next two years as President. As Bill mentioned we have Fryeburg Academy Alumni Association - Terry MacGillivray ‘81-Incoming President & Bill Perry ‘80-President trimmed our budget for the 2009/2010 year thanks to a downturn in the market. This was not an easy task. By doing so, we have had to make decreases in several areas. These cost cutting measures ensure that our Association will withstand the economic situation we are all in. The FAAA will continue to financially contribute to Fryeburg Academy’s Homecoming, Project Graduation, Reunion and Senior Class Gifts. We will continue to fund and organize our Annual Shawnee Peak Ski Night (See photos from this year in the pages of Scenes and, remember it’s always the first Friday in March! Not necessary to ski to participate! It’s a great social time at the tail end of any given long New England winter). The Association is here to support Fryeburg Academy and its past and present students; and when the markets do produce profits, we, as an Association, will see that they are used to benefit the Academy. We are proud to have been able to donate $150,000 to the Phoenix Project prior to the downturn in the economy. If you have not been to see the new buildings I encourage you to do so. You will wish they were around when you attended the Academy! Although we have made reductions in our budget, we will review all requests from the faculty and students for special needs, events and state championship jackets. I would like to thank the two members who will be leaving the board, Florence Tripp ‘55 and Robert Burnell ‘50 for a job well done and welcome two new members Lonni Lutte Lewis ‘59 and Betsy Thibodeau ‘98. If any alums of Fryeburg Academy are interested in sitting on the Board of the Fryeburg Academy Alumni Association, please send me an email and I will be happy to add your name to our list. Thank you, Terry MacGillivray ‘81, E-mail: emacgillivray@fryeburgacademy.org -5Fryeburg Academy, 745 Main Street, Fryeburg, Maine 04037, (207) 935-2001 x 3137, www.fryeburgacademy.org, e-mail-alumni@fryeburgacademy.org
LEURA HILL EASTMAN PERFORMING ARTS CENTER What was Elton John’s Guitarist doing in Fryeburg? He was impressing hundreds of fans at the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center, that’s what he was doing! John Jorgenson is just one of the many performers that have graced the stage of our new performing arts center already this year. Since opening the doors this spring, music and laughter have been filling the theater and hallways, which we are sure would make Leura Hill Eastman ‘27 happy! Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center Grand Opening Reception May 16, 2009 Our first performance opened in March, as audience members cheered on Fryeburg Academy’s own One Act Competition team’s production of “Icarus.” This was followed by a full house enjoying a Jazz Cabaret performed by our state title champs from Brent LaCasce’s ‘78 Music Department. The list goes on and includes the All School Musical, “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” and many other school productions. In addition to our own talented student body, we had a number of professional performers that still have us singing their tunes! Lipbone Redding wowed us with his soulful jazzy sounds. Shakespeare and Company’s production of “Romeo & Juliet” had everyone moved to tears, and we are pleased to announce that they are coming back in 2010 to perform “Julius Caesar”! Our Palmina F. and Stephen S. Pace Galleries of Art proudly opened its doors in April with a vibrant exhibit of art by Maine artist Lynne Drexler. Gallery Director, John Day ‘67, has his next three years of exhibits planned out, so keep your eyes on the Academy website to see what is open! August marks the next exhibit opening, with the work of the gallery namesake, Stephen Pace. The highlight of the spring was our dedication weekend. With performances from Friday through Sunday, there was truly something for everyone! In addition to the guided tours of the facility, folks enjoyed one act plays, chamber music, a local choir concert and even a family movie! The evening show was opened by the Fryeburg Academy Vocal Jazz Ensemble, and was then turned over to alumni of that very group who have successful professional musical careers: Heather Masse ‘00, Ben Hammond ‘01, Dan Berglund ‘01and Kelly Muse ‘96 were joined by Brent LaCasce ‘78 and gave us a show we’ll never forget! The upcoming season is full of more of the same excitement, with performers such as country sensation Keni Thomas; jazz pianist and guitarist John Pizzarelli; and guitar great Phil Keaggy. We are also pleased to announce that The Metropolitan Opera’s Live HD Simulcasts will be shown at the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center beginning in October. For a complete listing of our upcoming events, visit the school’s website, www.fryeburgacademy.org. You may also contact Box Office Manager, Sarah MacGillivray at boxoffice@fryeburgacademy.org if Sarah MacGillivray, FAPAC Box Office Manager with performer Lipbone Redding & David Sturdevant, you need more information.

EYE ON ALUMNI - PAULINE HILL PENDEXTER LUTTE ‘36 Pauline “Polly” Hill Pendexter Lutte ’36 lives in downtown Fryeburg and has all her life. Here is her story. Polly was born in 1919 at Memorial Hospital in North Conway, NH, to Arthur and Florence Hill Pendexter ‘13. Florence’s father, and Polly’s grandfather, Steven Wesley Hill, attended Fryeburg Academy in the late 1800’s. Florence was one of twelve children. Arthur Pendexter was from Denmark and attended Denmark High School. He was a druggist and came to Fryeburg to work at the CT Lad Drug Store on Main Street. He met Florence in 1912 and they married in 1913. Polly had one sister, Audrey Elizabeth Pendexter ‘30. She died in 1955. Polly says, “Audrey was the best runner at Fryeburg Academy. She and Milton Illingworth ‘29, a dorm student from Mattapan, MA, were great runners. They eventually married. Mr. LaCasce always called Milton ‘Matt’ because he was from Mattapan.” Audrey and Milton had one daughter, Joanne Illingworth Johnson ‘48. Polly’s father, Arthur, died in 1932. “My mother then married Harry Chase. He was a druggist as well. He is the one who put up the store, a Shell gas station where we also sold general merchandise. We ran the station for 40 years. In 1975, my husband and I changed it over to what it is now - the Tamarack Tree on Main Street in Fryeburg.” The Luttes named the store The Tamarack Tree because of the tamarack tree beside it, which Polly’s mother planted in her Pauline Hill Pendexter Lutte ‘36 honor on one of her birthdays. Polly attended Fryeburg Grammar School and in 1932, at the age of 13, began at Fryeburg Academy. “I loved the Academy. I was just a little kid when I started there. But I grew up quick! I was very shy…..hated to get up and recite in class but I got over that, too. I loved sports, especially basketball, and I played softball as well. I was the side center in basketball. I broke my finger on the old gym wall, and it’s been out of whack ever since.” Polly remembers fondly her good friends, Dottie Lord Craig ‘35, Helen Sanborn Walker ’38, Charlie ’34 and Charlene Glines ’40 (brother & sister), and cousins, Dorothy Hill Pitman ‘38 and Marilyn Hill Bowers ‘38. “We used to go dancing at the drug store. Charlie taught us young girls how to dance. In the back of the drugstore there was a big jukebox and a place to get drinks. We went there almost every day. My father worked there so it was great for me. I always had to do my lessons before I could do anything else. Today the kids don’t have a place like that, which is really too bad. They need a place.” Polly remembers teachers Elizabeth Alkire and Ron Torrey. “Ron, oh he was very nice and very handsome. He eventually married Esther Pike Torrey ‘28. Miss Alkire was my English teacher. Mrs. (Elsie) Files was also very good to me. She called on me to read one day and I just couldn’t do it. She said, ‘You may sit down, Pauline. We’ll try again another day.’ And we did try again another day and I could do it. She was very kind. I remember Cliff Gray. He would often catch you not paying attention. I think he looked to call on kids that weren’t paying attention. Mrs. (Irene) Buzzell was my commercial teacher all four years. She was a good friend of my mother’s and was here at the house a lot. I did well in her class. My headmaster was Elroy LaCasce-‘Mister’. Everybody liked him. He just knew how to handle you. Even though I was shy…I was sort of noisy. Georgiana Barrows Steadman ’36 was a good friend of mine. She influenced me quite a bit. She was a city girl, full of vinegar. One day ‘Mister’ called Georgiana and me into his office. He said, ‘I want you two to be cheerleaders. Polly, you’ve got the noise and Georgiana you’ve got the jump. I want you to do it.’ So we said yes!” Writer’s note – at this point in our interview Polly did a cheer for me and it was very well done and very entertaining! Polly goes on to compliment ‘Mister’ LaCasce, “He decided what you’d be good at and he suggested it. He knew I was shy and he made a difference for me. I got over my shyness and gained self-confidence.” After graduation from FA in 1936, Polly attended the Maine School of Commerce in Portland for one year. She graduated with skills in typing, shorthand and business which she has put to good use ever since. “I went to Mexico, Maine, and won a contest in shorthand; and I typed fast, as well.” Polly returned to Fryeburg and began work at the Fidelity Trust Bank (now Key Bank of Fryeburg) across the street from her family home. A commute of all of 200 feet. Never late! Often Polly and friends would go to the Bemis Camps in South Chatham, NH, for barn dances. There she met her future husband, Arthur Dale “Flick” Lutte. “Flick was a guide from Pennsylvania - as if he knew anything about the woods! He had gotten his shoulder damaged in a baseball game and his coach told him to go up to Maine to recuperate. He was six years older than me. I met him in 1935 and it seemed I was unnoticeable. When he returned two years later, he seemed to take note. My father hired him at the gas station. We married in 1938 and were together for 65 years until his death in 2003.” That first year the Luttes traveled to Miami, Florida, to work for the winter. “We worked for the Miami Laundry. They serviced all the hotels and cruise ships, which were numerous. I worked in the office.” The Luttes returned to Fryeburg and fixed over rooms in the upstairs of Polly’s parents’ home. They lived there for ten years. “It was getting kind of crowded with children arriving, so we bought a house on Pine Street (now the Kiesman house) across from C.A. Snow School. We lived there for 15 years.” The Luttes have three children-Lonni, born in 1941, Kenneth, born in 1946 and Kathy, born in 1950. Lonni Lutte Lewis ’59 attended UMaine Farmington after graduating from FA. She married Winston Lewis during her senior year of college. They have three daughters, Lisa, Laurie and Brittany Polly Lutte ‘36 with husband Flick Lutte at their Shell Gas Station, Lewis Joas ’90. Lonni is a retired school teacher. In 1987, Winston Fryeburg, Maine 1940

retired from teaching and as principal of The Cushing Consolidated School in Cushing, Maine. The Lewis’ moved to Denmark, Maine. Lonni worked as a buyer for The Yield House in North Conway for seven years. Winston passed away in 1995. Lonni now lives with her mother in Fryeburg and has eight grandchildren. Brittany Lewis Joas ’90 was a Montessori teacher but is now raising her four children, Wyeth-8, Carl-6, Bodie-3 and Beckett-2. The Joas’ live on a farm in Candia, NH. They have horses and Brittany gives riding lessons. Ken Lutte ’65 lives in New Harbor, Maine. He and wife, Pam, have two sons, Tom and Mark, who both live in Washington, DC. Ken has retired from teaching at Lincoln Academy in Newcastle, Maine. Kathy Lutte Dumont ’68 lives in Brownville Junction, Maine. She works in a busy Ob-Gyn office. She is married to Eldred Dumont and they have one son, Christopher-22, who lives in Portland, Maine. Polly talked about WWII and its effect on their family and the country. “Flick did not go to war. He was just never called up. We had to ration all kinds of things. We had to make shoes last. You didn’t get much sugar and you hardly ever got meat or butter. If you knew someone who could hunt, that was great. It was kind of hard but we got by. We had only a few gallons of gas a week to sell and you had to have coupons. It sold out fast. We had a taxi during the war because we had to make do with something as the gas business was not enough to keep two families going. We had three taxis. I drove a taxi for some 30 years, and we kept it going long after the war. We made runs to the Conway Polly Pendexter Lutte ‘36 with daughter Lonni Lutte train station, with passengers to Severance Lodge and Quisisana and to Bridgton and all Lewis ‘59, granddaughter Brittany Lewis Joas ‘90 the camps around. It was very busy in the summer. We would get customers that wanted and great-granddaughter, Wyeth Joas. Wyeth was the to ride up in the notch, so sometimes I would take Lonni along. They never seemed to crown bearer at FA’s Winter mind and we got a nice ride out of it. That kept us going–the taxi business. It cost us Carnival 2008 a lot, too, with special licenses and insurance. I think we charged ten cents a mile. We also had lots of hospital trips to Portland with sick people or with a new baby on the way. They couldn’t get there any other way and often we had to get there in a hurry.” “When the war was over it was GREAT! It was a great relief. My sister had been a taxi driver in Portsmouth all that time. Her husband came home from the war (she was now married to Francis MacDonald) and they moved back to Fryeburg, and Francis worked with Flick in the store for a while and Audrey helped drive the taxis. I was also the winter secretary for Severance Lodge in Lovell for over 30 years.” Flick Lutte died in 2003 at the age of 90. He had been in declining health with Alzheimer’s for seven years prior to his death. Polly took care of him for five of those years and the last two were spent in a nursing home. Lonni Lutte Lewis ‘59 says, “He was a great dad and grandfather.” Flick Lutte had been a long-time referee and umpire at Fryeburg Academy and at other surrounding schools. Polly says, “We were very happily married and really had no problems. We never thought of divorce. We had our little spats but we got over them.” I asked Polly what her advice is for keeping a long-term marriage. She said, “Well, you’ve got to give a little and take a little and just be kind to each other. I mean why not. Be thoughtful and caring. That’s what I’d say.” Polly is still working! She still operates the Tamarack Tree and offers a variety of antiques and “goodies, old and new.” Polly adds, “I’m open in the afternoons in the summer through the Fair.” Polly is thrilled to see developments at FA over the last several years. She says, “I was very surprised and pleased to learn of the new name for the Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center. I heard it announced at the Alumni Banquet. ‘Ludy’ (Leura Hill Eastman ‘27) was my mother’s youngest sister and was like a sister to me. She did indeed love to sing, and we were very happy to have her sing ‘O Promise Me’ at our wedding. I miss my Aunt Ludy very much.” Looking back at her first 90 years, Polly says, “I have no regrets. Everything’s fine.” Daughter, Lonni, adds, “Mom is one of the most content people I’ve ever known. She is very accepting of everything life hands her. She doesn’t have extreme emotions about things. She is very calm and goes-with-the-flow. In a family of sometimes volcanic temperaments, she is an island of calm and serenity - a stabilizing anchor for the family.” Polly says she is not afraid to die. “I’m just hoping I meet all the people I’ve known. All my good friends and family. I’d like to see my husband most. And then my mother, father and sister.” Polly Lutte offers the following advice to today’s high school student, “Be good. Live your life with moderation. That was always my ‘Pennsylvania Dutch’ husband’s advice - moderation - and it worked very well for us.” Lonni added, “I remember so fondly my former teacher, Priscilla Merrifield. She was a beautiful woman. Everyone adored her. She made us dress very nice to take exams and SAT’s. She said, ‘If you’re feeling good about yourself, you will do much better.’ I wish the kids today would consider that thought.” Polly will be 90 years old on October 30, 2009. In honor of her 90th birthday she gifted to Fryeburg Academy a beautiful Benjamin Newman painting. Her stipulation is that it never be sold and that it always be retained by her beloved school. Polly presents FA’s John Day ‘67, Director of the Pace Galleries of Art at Written by Rachel Andrews Damon ‘76 FA, with a gift for HER 90th birthday - a Benjamin Newman painting.

SCOTT KELLY ‘53 ALUM, FACULTY, RETIRED-TWICE!, ALUMNI COORDINATOR Scott Kelly ’53 – teacher, friend, confidante, alum, lover of all things Fryeburg Academy and all things Red Sox - better add all things Irish, too. Here’s the rest of his story. Scott Kelly was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on November 27, 1933. He was given up for adoption by his birth mother. However, he was later adopted by his birth father, Dr. Joseph N. Kelly, and his stepmother, Louise Grinnell Kelly. Scott was raised Scott Kelly ‘53, FA’s Alumni Coordinator in Orleans, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod. He attended elementary schools in Orleans and attended Orleans High School. Scott had one brother, Joel G. Kelly (deceased in June 2008), and one sister, Geraldine H. Kelly ’58. Scott Kelly ‘53 - 1953 Yearbook Photo Mr. Kelly says, “I went to Orleans High School for four years…but I didn’t pay attention. I wasn’t doing well in school and I wasn’t going anywhere. I wanted to be a fisherman. I thought I’d get a boat and fish for a living. Some of my high school behavior wasn’t very good either.” Mr. Kelly’s father called up FA teacher, Ted Blaich, whose wife, Charlotte, was related to them. “My dad knew Ted was teaching at Fryeburg Academy and that he was the assistant headmaster under Headmaster Elroy LaCasce. So up to Maine we went. My father and I stayed at a cottage at Jockey Cap. I met Mr. LaCasce. Next thing I knew they had made me out a schedule and I was attending. I arrived Labor Day weekend for school in the fall of 1952. I was a repeat senior, or a post-graduate year, as the case may be.” Mr. Kelly says, “I fell in love with the Academy immediately. It was family. We were treated so well. There were only one or two street lights and Jewett’s Ice Cream, Oliver’s Drug Store, Solari’s and Dick Pipe’s restaurant. That was the bright lights of Fryeburg! I liked the way we were mixed with families. We were treated very well. Two of the guys who befriended me were Bill Oliver ‘38 and Bill Jordan ‘35. Bill Jordan knew I played baseball on the Cape. The teachers were great. Cliff Gray, Heini Heartz, Ralph Larrabee… you couldn’t get away with anything…. but sometimes we did... We were taught commitment and ownership here. We had chores to do. We waited on tables and did kitchen duty. Paul Hurley ’53 and I were on KP duty. Roger Lewis ‘53 and his sister, Ruthie Lewis Rivers ‘53, were good friends in my class and did kitchen duty also. We were a good class - 1953. We really bonded.” Mr. Kelly met his first wife at FA, classmate Ann Norton ’53. They were married for 16 years. “I was accepted to the University of Maine in Mr. LaCasce’s office by Mr. Percy Crane, the Director of Admissions, at Orono. He interviewed all interested students in Mr. LaCasce’s office. I was 1953-front row-Lucien Hamilton ‘54, Rayfield Payne ‘55, Ronald Palmer ‘56; back row-Scott thrilled to get in.

had a lot of help from Ted Blaich and Mister getting into UMO. Then again, by that time my grades had vastly improved.” Mr. Kelly began a premed program at UMO in 1953. Pre-med was not the right fit for him so he changed to a field he had begun to love – science. He received his bachelor’s degree in zoology and teaching. He says, “I loved UMO. I knew I wanted to be a teacher and a coach. I had been influenced a lot by a family I had stayed with often in Orleans – The Bremner Family. They were my role models. It was Alex and Bess Bremner and their children, David, Bobby, Betty and Francis. All the children were older than 1953 Basketball Team-front row-Stephen Durgin ‘54, Fred Wenzel ‘53, James Harvey ‘54, Wayne Bartlett ‘53, me and they were all in the Bill Texido ‘53, Scott Kelly ‘53 & Roger Lewis ‘53; back row-David Harriman ‘53, Pascal Woldemarian ‘53, military. When they were Henry Anthony ‘53, Bruce Layne ‘53, Lawrence Locklin ‘53, Raymond Sawyer ‘54, Ralph Gushee ‘54 & discharged they used the GI Lucien Hamilton ‘54 Bill to get their educations. They talked to me at great length about the importance of getting an education and using athletics as a source of success. I learned a lot from Dave Bremner. I learned to say what you mean, mean what you say and don’t say it mean. He was a teacher and coach and an outstanding athlete.” Mr. Kelly went on to a teaching internship at Brewer High School. “My first job was at Strong High School during the school year 1957-58. I came down to my sister, Geraldine’s, graduation here at FA in June of 1958. Ted Blaich wanted me to meet Mr. Mitchell, the headmaster at that time. He ended up leaving FA to go to North Yarmouth Academy. I then met with Phil Richards at his home in Sweden during the first week of August. Evidently I said the right things. He offered me a job, and I began teaching at FA in the fall of 1958. We lived in the back of Alumni House. We were dorm parents for 12 boys upstairs, two to a room. I started teaching biology and general science, and I coached football, basketball and baseball. We were on three weekends a month, with only one weekend a month off, and with only two evenings a week off. The rest of the time we were on duty. I knew I had chosen the right career. I was thrilled to be back at FA. It was like coming home.” Mr. Kelly goes on to reminisce, “I was at the Clam Shell one night and Mr. Gray came there with his wife. He walked up to me and stuck his hand out and said, ‘Welcome to Fryeburg. I’m so happy you’re working for us and you’re going to be on the right side of the fence for a change!’ Cliff was always wondering where I was when I was a student. Paul Hurley ‘53, Ralph Moore ‘53 and I had skipped out often during our student days.” “I had great comrades at FA over the years - Andy Welch, Heini Heartz, Ruth Shaw French - she was a sweetheart. When I was a student and I turned in writing assignments, it Scott Kelly ‘53 teaching the sciences to young minds everywould be all red FA Coaches-Cliff Gray & Scott Kelly ‘53 where! -16Fryeburg Academy, 745 Main Street, Fryeburg, Maine 04037, (207) 935-2001 x 3137, www.fryeburgacademy.org, e-mail-alumni@fryeburgacademy.org
when I got it back. She was my English teacher when I was a student. Now I was the junior statesman working with these folks. Clarence Walker, Priscilla Merrifield...all great people. Bill Hammond ‘47 came back with me and started teaching at the same time. Jack Gordon had already been here a year. Over the years, I have had five headmasters, Phil Richards, Ron Hill, Harry True, Barry Acker and Dan Lee.” Mr. Kelly had two sons, Shawn Kelly ‘80 and Ryan Kelly ‘82, with his former wife, Ann. They were divorced around 1970. He then married Linda Sheldon in 1973. They had two daughters, Tracy Kelly Shriver ‘87 and Megan Kelly Heagney ‘92. In 1984, Mr. Kelly married Sandy Scanlon and they will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary on December 29th, 2009. Sandy brought four children to their union, Jane Scanlon ‘82, Joey Scanlon ‘83, Terri ScanlonPhillips ‘86 and Patricia Scanlon LaFontaine ‘88. Mr. Kelly says of Sandy, “If it wasn’t for her…well, she was instrumental in my twelve-step recovery. She’s Scott Kelly ‘53 known for cat dissections and his sports been a power of example to our melded family and all our grandchildren.” Mr. Kelly says, “We have eight children and twenty grandchildren. We love them stories very much. We’re very proud of them.” Shawn ‘80 has been in culinary arts for over 20 years. Now he is a landscaper and lives in South Berwick, Maine, with wife, Becky, and two daughters. Ryan ‘82 lives in Fryeburg. He is divorced and has two sons and one daughter. He retired from the US Air Force and is now cross-country truck driving for Werner Corporation. Tracy ‘87 is a lawyer and lives in Essex Junction, Vermont, where she is the district attorney. She is married to Alexander Shriver and they have one son and one daughter. Megan ‘92 lives in Ruther Glen, Virginia. She and husband, Sean, have seven children having just been blessed with identical twin girls in May 2009. Sean works for Geico. Jane ‘82 is a school teacher in North Carolina. Joey ‘83 is a computer consultant. He and wife, Brenda, live in Nashua, NH, and have two daughters. Teri ‘86 and husband, Page, live in Denver, Colorado. Page is an architect. After receiving her master’s degree in horticulture, Teri started her own landscaping business, Landscapes by Tess. Their son, Cash, born in January 2008, tragically passed away five months later. Teri and Page plan to adopt children. Patricia ’88 and husband, Scott, live in Bridgton, Maine, and have one son, Tyler. Scott is a landscaper. In 1992, when Mr. Kelly was 58 years old, he met his birth mother for the first time thanks to Sandy’s persistence in researching his adoption. She located Mr. Kelly’s mother now living in Centerville, MA. Mr. Kelly wrote her a letter, which began, “You and I met 58 years ago….” His mother was Claribell McKay McDormand, now age 82. The Kelly’s went to Cape Cod to meet his mother. Her husband, John McDormand, met Mr. Kelly at the door and he instantly embraced him. He said, “You must be Scott. I am so happy to have you here, son. Come right in.” Mr. Kelly says, “My wife, Sandy, and Mr. McDormand broke the ice. After that it went beautifully. I learned that my mother could not support me when I was born and a marriage to my father would not work out. At the Mr. Kelly entertaining the troops time, she had been making less than $1 a day as an RN.” Mr. Kelly goes on to say, “My mother and I had six wonderful years together. I went back to Nova Scotia where she was from and met all my cousins and aunts and uncles. I also found out that I have a brother and two sisters by my mother. Since then, I have met them. My brother, Jack, looks just like me. We’re a couple of clones. Jack lives in Georgia and is retired from IBM. His son, Jon McDormand ’96, is an Academy graduate. My sister, Susan, is an artist in Stonington, CT, and works in a studio and crafts business. My sister, Linda, is a horticulturist and has holly fields and raises holly. Her husband is the Head of the Health Center at the University of Oregon in Eugene.” Mr. Kelly retired from full-time teaching in 1999. He taught part time until 2004 when he retired from teaching completely and then moved over to work in the Alumni & Development Office at the Academy. Over his years of service to FA, he had been instrumental in the development of FA’s Alumni Programs. When asked about his teaching philosophy and theory on teenagers which guided him in almost five decades of teaching, Mr. Kelly says, “I wanted to give to them what was given to me - to treat them the way I was treated - the Academy way. Mind and spirit and athletics; to be the best they Scott Kelly ‘53 with Lee Stang of the Scott Kelly ‘53 could be. I liked working with the underdogs, the Boston Red Sox -17Fryeburg Academy, 745 Main Street, Fryeburg, Maine 04037, (207) 935-2001 x 3137, www.fryeburgacademy.org, e-mail-alumni@fryeburgacademy.org
academically-challenged kids, but I liked the cross section, as well. I’ve always been for the underachiever. I knew firsthand what that was all about... I tried to give them compassion and understanding and a work ethic. I was honest and willing to work with them.” Today, Mr. Kelly says he would encourage all students to, “Get involved right away with your peers and in the classroom. Have a good work ethic. Be honest, open and willing to learn.” As a sports lover and coach, Mr. Kelly’s fondest FA sports memories are of the 1967 football team coaching with Buck Austin. He says, “That was an incredible year.” He was a coach for the 1976 State Championship Basketball title and says, “It was tremendous.” Mr. Kelly with his beloved truck “Tinkerbell” now at the junkyard He also recalls with pride the 1982 & 1983 baseball championships. “When you saw the kids execute the plays successfully…well, my job was to show them how to do it and give them the spirit and drive to pull it off. Athletics was always my outlet. It was a place I could go and be a part of and work hard and learn to work with others, both as an athlete myself and as a coach.” Looking back, Mr. Kelly says he has no regrets. “Idealistically, I didn’t realize that some of the peaks and valleys that do occur in one’s lifetime can reshape your life. Today I am grateful for every day, grateful for every day above ground! Just very thankful for the shortcomings and the character defects that occurred, as well as all the spiritual gifts I’ve accrued over the years.” Mr. Kelly says he is in very good health. He has had some old sports injuries revisiting his knees. Other than that, “I’m doing great!” Stop in to see Mr. Kelly at the FA Alumni & Development Office or drop him an e-mail at skelly@fryeburgacademy.org Written with gratitude to Scott Kelly ’53 for all his dedication and commitment to Fryeburg Academy for over 50 years by Rachel Andrews Damon ‘76

EYE ON ALUMNI DICK CONRAD ‘58
I visited with Dick Conrad ’58 and his lovely wife, Sue, at their home in South Pasadena, Florida, this past April. Pulling up to the water, we could see their house floating in the distance - a beautiful 42-foot boat! Dick & Sue have been living on their boat, “Spindrift”, for the last four years. But let’s start at the beginning. Young Dick Conrad ’58 lived on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, when his parents, Richard and Eloise Conrad, decided to send him to Fryeburg Academy for his junior and senior years. Dick is one of four children, including brother, Peter, and sisters, Ruby & Catherine. Dick’s parents owned a beach club on Nantucket. It was a seasonal business, and they went to Florida for part of the year. Dick went off to Fryeburg and after he was here one year, his parents sold the family business and moved to Stowe, Vermont, where they bought a ski lodge called The Stowe-Away. His younger siblings attended Stowe High School. Dick Conrad ‘58 from the 1958 FA Yearbook Dick says he had a good time at Fryeburg Academy. “I made the honor roll the first semester, which I thought was great! I made good friends there - Chase Langmaid ’58, Steve Gordon ‘58, Dick Jones ‘58, Byron Shea ‘58, Pete Fides ‘58 & Jack (John) Lecoeuvre ‘58 to name a few.” Dick was a soccer player. He also remembers smoking in the basement of Frye House! “There used to be a movie theater in town. I made the popcorn and sold it. I had to make a buck here and there!” Dick was one of a few students who was allowed to have a car on campus. Dick adds, “The headmaster had to have the keys. Well…he had one set anyway…”
Dick started his engineering career early. “My mother decided I needed an electric blanket, but at ‘lights out’ back then, they threw the main breaker so an electric blanket was no good. Since I was right above the dorm master’s apartment, I was able to get a circuit above his apartment. Jack and Chase had a huge closet in their room, so I piped them over some electricity so they could study at night. I had to run a wire across the room between us so those guys had to get a piece of the action as well! Well, the word got out that I had this electric blanket. At graduation when we got class gifts, I got a card with a fuse dangling off it.” Stephanie Coney Coughlin ’58 reminded me of this at the 50th reunion!!” Dick remembers fondly FA teachers Ted Blaich, Ruth Shaw French, Mr. Leadbeater, Cliff Gray and Heini Heartz. After graduating from the Academy, Dick spent the summer teaching sailing at a YMCA camp. He then attended New England College in Henniker, NH. “My mother had me doing a pre-med course, which I didn’t like and I wasn’t doing that well. The next year, probably for financial reasons, I transferred to UVM and really didn’t like that. So the following year, I went into the U.S. Navy.” Most of Dick’s family who had been in the service had chosen the Navy. “I really love the water. I was in the Navy for four years and then went to work for New England Telephone in Burlington, Vermont. I worked all over New England and was only home on weekends.”

Dick had met Sue during his senior year at Fryeburg while back home in Nantucket on school vacation. She was from Newton, MA and was an au pair for a family from Wellesley, MA. On Nantucket, Dick had a friend who had no way to see his girlfriend so Dick drove him to see the girlfriend and for that he fixed Dick up with Sue. “Sue would come up to visit me at Fryeburg. She took the train to Conway, then would drive my car - which I’d leave at the station - to Fryeburg. She stayed in the girls’dorm when she was visiting.” Their summer romance turned into marriage on March 4, 1961. They have been married for 48 years. The Conrads have four daughters.

Madeline Ann was born in 1961 and lives in Ira, Vermont, where she is raising her son and daughter and owns a bakery. Amy Elizabeth was born in 1963 and has two sons. She lives in Stowe, Vermont, and is an accountant for the State of Vermont’s Department of Aging. Nancy Ellen was born in 1968; she lives in Marlborough, MA, and is an auto mechanic for Toyota. Stephanie Joyce was born in 1969 and lives in Fairfax, Vermont. She is an architect and has one daughter and one son. Dick and Sue consider themselves free spirits. One day after Dick had been with New England Telephone for five years, they discussed moving to Australia, and in June of 1970 they did just that! They sold their house and car, packed up their children – at that time ages 8-1/2 years to 10 months - and headed for Sydney. They bought a house after having spent six months in a migrant hostel (community living with other newcomers to Australia). Dick worked with a telephone engineering group and had been there a very short time when he received an offer from IBM. They lived in Australia for two years, at which point they moved back to the U.S. and went on to live in Hartford, CT, and Newton, MA. Dick’s career in equipment engineering and communications provided for lots of change and new developments during this period of time. Dick also worked at State Street Bank in Boston as an in-house consultant. When he began in 1984, there were no personal computers; rather, they had one employee keeping all the financial records on 3x5 cards! Dick says, “Pretty soon PC’s were everywhere. I built a worldwide network system for the bank which connected all their offices (I had to visit all the worldwide offices). We also didn’t have e-mail then; instead, telexes were utilized. Everyone was excited by all the technological developments.” Dick semi-retired from State Street Bank in 1990 and did some private consulting. In 1993, Dick and Sue moved to Florida for the warm Dick & Sue Conrad aboard the Spindrift weather. Dick says he had to buy a boat to get out of his wife’s hair. All the while Dick was working with IBM, this time as a contractor, to bring in some money to finance the boat. The group he was working with was bought out by AT&T, and Dick went on to work with internet services and the field of developing voice-over-IP telephone services. In 2004 he retired for real. He began getting the boat ready for Sue who would retire from her medical transcription job in 2005. Sue was a medical transcriptionist for 40 years beginning in 1965. She worked in hospitals and doctors’ offices over the years and says she could always find a job no matter where they lived. The day Sue retired, Dick picked her up from her retirement party, and they began life on their boat “Spindrift”. Dick says the boat is named for one he had once seen on Nantucket that caught his eye. The Conrads sold almost everything that the kids did not take when they moved onto the “Spindrift”. They rent an off-premise storage facility to house some of their prized possessions. Dick spends his retirement days working on “Spindrift” - the boat always has something that needs attention. “I have to clean the engine room, the sea strainer to remove the seagrass, etc. It is endless, just like a house! Something is always deteriorating due to the sun and sea water.” At least once a month, the Conrads take off on an adventure. They head for Sarasota, Palm Island or St. Petersburg. However, they will make another change soon as they have decided to sell “Spindrift” and buy a condo on the beach. They enjoy visiting their daughters and their families and hope to travel more, visiting their friends worldwide that they’ve made over the years. I asked Dick if he had any advice for today’s youth, “Live each day as you see it, but do your best. Do what makes you happy, as it should also make others happy; and do it for yourself, but don’t be selfish.” He adds, “In schools I think we should teach our children how to manage their finances better. They may not have Social Security the way we have. Learning to manage their money better could be their salvation.” E-mail Dick & Sue at: spindrift42@yahoo.com.

Janice Tappin Lowell Whittemore Former Fryeburg Academy English Teacher from 1967-1987 Mrs. Jan Tappin Lowell-Whittemore, our former Fryeburg Academy English teacher (1967-1987), is now retired and lives in Bridgton, Maine. We got together in March to talk about her life. Mrs. Whittemore, aka Jan Tappin, came from Waterbury, Connecticut, the daughter of Florence and Clarence (“Tapp”) Tappin. She had two sisters, Virginia and Priscilla, both now deceased. Jan was the middle child. She attended Crosby High School in Waterbury, CT. Her father was a teacher of French and Spanish at Crosby and later taught education “teaching teachers to be teachers” at the University of Connecticut at Storrs. She did not have her father as her teacher as they didn’t want anyone to think she might receive favoritism. Jan graduated in 1940 and out of the 320 graduating seniors in her class, she was the valedictorian. There were three high schools in Waterbury, CT, and Crosby was considered to be the college prep school. “Most of the boys were going into WWII. We lost several in our class.” Jan received a scholarship to Colby College and accepted. She arrived at Colby on the train. “It was fun. The trains went everywhere then. We got on in Waterbury Jan Tappin ‘40 Valedictorian and picked up college students all along the way going to Bowdoin, Bates or Crosby High School, Waterbury, CT Colby. We had to change trains in Boston.” Jan’s mother had been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis when she was a senior in high school. She continued to become very ill. Jan says, “I transferred to UConn so I could be home every weekend. My mother passed away during my junior year. It was final exam week.” Jan majored in English with minors in history and education and graduated from UConn in 1944. She married her Crosby High schoolmate, Walter “Bud” Lowell, in December of 1944. In 1944 he was a navigator in the U.S. Air Force. They lived in Texas and Colorado. Jan says, “Bud never did go overseas as the atomic bomb was dropped and that ended the war.” Bud’s father had a cottage on Highland Lake in Bridgton. Bud and his father eventually started a business in Bridgton - Lowell Supply Company. Jan and Bud had three sons, Roger and Peter (twins) and John. The Lowells moved to Bridgton when their twins, born in Waterbury, CT, were three weeks old. Roger Lowell is the principal at Lake Region High School in Bridgton/Naples. He and his wife, Chris, have four children and five grandchildren. Son, Peter, is the Director of the Lakes Environmental Association headquartered in Bridgton. Peter and his wife, Paula, live in South Bridgton. They have three daughters. Peter’s daughter, Adria and her husband, Fletcher Carr, are both on the faculty at Bridgton Academy and have a son and a daughter. They also own and run The Cool Moose in Bridgton. Son, John, maintains a home in NH and is the Director at Mt. Snow in Vermont. He and wife, Carrie, have three children. Two of his children are through college and his youngest is at UNH studying veterinary science and specializing in large animals. Jan has a total of eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. “My sons and grandchildren have been very good to me. We are a close family.” Jan taught for two years in Storrs, CT, and in Hondo, TX, at the Army base. “I had a college roommate who became an instructor at Reading University in England. I took a course there which was fun. I visited her five times, including two trips to Ireland as well. We followed all the literary trails.” Jan taught 7th and 8th grade at the Bridgton junior high school for 14 years. She started at Fryeburg Academy in 1967 and taught until 1987. “In 1967 I met with Phil Richards (Former FA Headmaster) Mrs. Janice Lowell Whittemore FA Teacher 1967-1987 and he hired me on the spot.” Although she liked Mr. Richards, she (from the 1971 yearbook)

did not share his militant approach to long hair and jeans. “If students refused to get their hair cut, out they went.” Jan remembers the mouse she had in her classroom, “We had a mouse that used to come in at just about the same time every day. We, the students and I, named him Wilbur. He would come under the door and walk across the room to go out the other door and we’d all speak to him. Mr. Richards came in one day. He was furious. He said the school had a contract to get rid of mice and I should have reported it. I had no idea about a contract involving mice. That was the end of the mouse.” “I loved teaching at Fryeburg. I really did like it. I liked the comraderie of the other faculty members. I had good friends on the faculty. The school just seemed to be a little more academically oriented than most. I liked the foreign students, and I liked the idea of having different cultures there. I was good friends with Mrs. Chamberlain. I liked teaching novels. I started the advanced placement program in English. I went to the Taft School in Connecticut and Hebron Academy to study teaching advanced placement. You need Mr. & Mrs. Newton Whittemore a good solid background in the classics. I always liked Cry the Beloved Country and Pride and Prejudice. Cry the Beloved Country was just such a perfect fit for the times. And all the books I chose had pertinence to today, as well as the past. I think it’s important that students realize that people don’t change that much. The circumstances surrounding them are what change. In Pride and Prejudice the women didn’t have any rights or couldn’t own property, so students could see progress that had been made.” Jan still loves reading. “I would particularly recommend the book, No Flies on Billy, about the founder of the Washburn-Norlands Living History Center in Livermore, ME. The Washburns were an amazing family and I was lucky to spend a four-day livein there while “Billy” was in charge. The book is written by her granddaughter.” In 1987, Jan was confronted with divorce after 43 years. “You become more independent really quickly. I had never been very concerned with certain things. I had to learn about insurance and the business-end of life. I went back to work at St. Joseph’s College in their external degree program. I worked with students looking to attend summer school.” Jan met Newton Whittemore on a blind date. “He was a widower living in Brunswick. He had come from Connecticut, too, and had gone to UConn but not while I was there. He was looking for someone to go to a musical with and asked friends if they knew anyone. They asked me and I was pretty hesitant at the time. Finally they said, ‘What have you got to lose?’ It worked out well – right from the start. We were married in 1990 until his death in July of 1998. He had a son and daughter, and we keep in touch. He was very fond of my children. He was always looking forward to doing something. We took some great trips and traveled often.” Jan turned 86 on April 23, 2009. She continues to be an avid reader. “I think I have all my marbles even with three kinds of arthritis.” Jan has one cat, PJ, which she adores. She is concerned about the country’s condition at the moment. “I am worried about our financial situation. I am a registered Republican but voted for Obama. I think he’s bright, and I think he will certainly try hard.” When asked about her advice to high school students today, she says, “I think they have to look beyond the next day and think, ‘What do I want to do for the rest of my life?’ Even if you don’t have a career picked out, be sure you have the background to pursue whatever it is you might want to do. Plan, think ahead, plan enough so you have something to fall back on. Most families now need two incomes. A good lesson for girls - never rely on a boy for your future.” Jan is not afraid of the end of life. She says she has no regrets. “I always enjoyed teaching. I miss my husband a lot. We got to travel to Hawaii, Costa Rica, Guadalupe, Malta, Martinique, through the Panama Canal to the west coast of South America. We went to Vienna from Amsterdam in a riverboat.” Jan goes on to reflect on her own career choice, “I thought I’d be a lawyer at one point. Then I got married and that was the end of that idea. Teaching was my second choice. But I’m very happy I made that choice. I would recommend teaching to anyone. It’s very satisfying to get to know kids. I liked to more or less analyze the kids. To try to figure out what would be the best way to approach and teach them.” Written by Rachel Andrews Damon ’76 with thanks to Mrs. Janice Tappin Lowell Whittemore at her home in Whittemore for everything you have done for all of us.

Heidi Paulding
It almost goes without saying that the success of Fryeburg Academy starts and ends with our teachers. However, we sometimes need a reminder of how these quality professionals made their way to Fryeburg. One such teacher is Heidi Paulding. Heidi currently teaches Latin at the Academy and has done so since 2002. Her path to Fryeburg is a very interesting one and not a normal one by any means. Heidi was born in East Orange, New Jersey. She is the daughter of Edith and William Pennock. Edith herself was an elementary school teacher in Oakland, California, while her husband, William, worked as a financial advisor for the LaRoche Pharmaceutical Company in San Francisco. Heidi has two older siblings, a brother, Mark, and a sister, Holly. A change in jobs forced a move eastward to New Jersey where the family resided until she was twelve years old. It was at that time when the Pennocks moved north to live near Heidi’s grandparents on Bickford Pond in Porter, Maine. Edith got back into education by working at the New Country School in Baldwin and running the S.A.D. 55 Head Start program. William worked for the Pike Insurance Agency with A.O. Pike ‘57, who is the current President of the Board of Trustees at Fryeburg Academy. Heidi attended Sacopee Valley High School where she was involved in field hockey, cheering and track. It was at this time in her life that she started to mold her future in the field of teaching; she just did not know it at that time. Heidi claims that she was a very, how shall we say, “confident” person in high school. “I really felt I was the best thing going in high school; I have since learned that was not true, but at that time I felt that way,” said Heidi. She tells of how she won the “most improved” award for the track team, and it made her mad because that meant she was not as good as she thought she was. As a matter of fact, she knew exactly what she wanted to be in life. Her Heidi Paulding, FA Latin Teacher career choices were: lead singer in a rock and roll band, an architect or the girlfriend of “Indiana Jones.” Those choices dwindled when her mom explained that “Indiana Jones” was a movie character and that to be an architect you needed to take math in school. That left lead singer as her final choice and that just did not work out. Heidi tells a comical story how she received a “D” in driver’s education but she got an “A” in hunter’s safety while at Sacopee. It was her true dislike of math that started her on the road to teaching. She never wanted to be a teacher, it just materialized out of thin air. She had dropped her math class and needed another class to take its place. She chose Latin because she thought it was a social studies course. (I told you this was not a normal road). She was the only junior in this Latin class that was mostly freshman. During this time she developed a liking for a fellow student who was in this class. Now being an upperclassman it was not cool to date a freshman, so she did not spend much social time with him. He would pretend to need help so that Heidi would work with him on his Latin. This went on for the remainder of the year and into her senior year, as well. As she prepared to leave for college, Heidi felt she needed to tell her friend how she felt. During that conversation she said, “I want you to know how I feel in case I don’t see you again.” How true those words were. Shortly thereafter she was informed that her friend had been killed in a car accident. Heidi was unable to bring herself to go to the funeral or the memorial service or even to the gravesite. She had always been haunted by this event, but what made her able to cope with it were the memories of the time they shared with the Heidi’s husband, FA alum, Daniel Paulding ‘86 is an Latin subject. Whenever she would open a Latin book good memories of her accomplished artist. Above-one of his pieces displayed in friend would return, and it seemed to fill her with the joy of his memory. It the Goldberg Gallery at FA. -23-

just seemed right to her. Upon her graduation from college she had the qualifications to teach, but she did not feel that was her calling. After a year of other work she returned to school to get her master’s and then got into the field of teaching. We choose our paths in life for many different reasons and this tale is no exception. Heidi started her college career at UMass Amherst, but after one semester she decided the school was too big for her. Coming from the big fish in the small pond background, UMass did not suit her well. She then transferred to USM at Gorham where she majored in Latin and Greek. Her program was self-designed in classics, and was geared towards people who were already teaching. Upon graduation she was more than qualified to teach but still was not sure if she wanted to do that. She worked a year at the Laconia Public Library before going to UNH to get her master’s. Heidi’s life changed even more The Paulding Children-Meredith, Samuel & Abigail as she married Daniel Paulding ‘86 in 1995. Dan is a well-known artist. His works have been displayed at the Bion Cram Library in the past. Heidi then did her internship at Kingswood Regional High School in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. Shortly after that she took her first teaching position at Scarborough High School. She taught all four levels of Latin for a period of four years. Heidi stepped away from teaching in 1999 after the birth of their first child, Meredith. She ran a group home for disadvantaged young girls in Parsonsfield, Maine. It was a live-in situation with girls from the Department of Human Services and the Department of Corrections. It was a difficult environment to be in and the Pauldings were only there a year. With the birth of their second child, Samuel, Heidi was ready to return to the classroom. Her arrival at Fryeburg Academy was another case of the right place at the right time. In 2002 Carol Stewart ’04 was attending the Academy and she told her mother, Mary Stewart, who was working at the Cornish Elementary School, that the Latin teacher, Mark Churchill, was leaving the Academy. She quickly passed this information on to Heidi who immediately put in an application for his position. Within days she had an interview and was hired a short time after. She has taught all levels of Latin in her time at the Academy. So the road to Fryeburg is now complete, but as we know, any road you travel has many sites along the way and Heidi’s is no different. While at the Academy, she and Daniel had their third child, Abigail, in 2005. With the arrival of Abigail came a realization that all her children, Meredith, Samuel and Abigail, were named after Hobbits. She says her husband tricked her into these names. Of course with a dog named Frodo, she should have seen that one coming. Heidi has a great love of life and a giant personality to match. Her outside interests make her a unique person. She has an interest in mixed marshal arts. However her Sensei says even though she has a lot of enthusiasm, she still needs a lot of practice. She faithfully reads her horoscope because she believes that since the moon effects the tides and we are made up of 80% water, there must be outside forces that work upon us. Makes sense to me. Heidi also writes and is currently working on a ghost story. With a wry little smile on her face, she says, “Writing is a way to ward off Alzheimer’s by doing something different with my mind.” She has been journal writing since 1996 and has attempted to be published on a number of occasions. She has had no luck up to this point, but she may be on to something with her latest attempt. Her ghost story is inspired by her 3-year-old daughter, Abigail. Abigail has an imaginary mother that she talks to. Here is where this gets creepy. Her daughter gave her the name of a person buried in a cemetery on their property. The name is Eliza. Why is this creepy? Abigail has not yet learned to read, nor has she been to the cemetery. And there is a stone with Eliza on the site! Well, Heidi is still in production and has about twenty pages written, and we hope to see it on the best seller list some day. Having taught here since 2002, Heidi has seen a number of changes at the school. When asked to reflect on these things, she quickly stated that the biggest change was, of course, the physical appearance of the Academy. But what she has marveled at most is the students’ pride in themselves first, then in the school around them. “They seem to care more about themselves and about the school, than they did a few years ago. I think it comes from a strong sense of pride that this place offers,” said Heidi. The goals she has set for the coming years are to see our students’ grades reflect those of the national levels. “We have work to do to make that happen,” she said. Her personal goal is to use technology in a more meaningful and collaborative way in the classroom. What Heidi enjoys most about teaching at the Academy is the diversity of abilities and attitudes that are here. “I could teach the same lesson 14 times and it would be different each time,” she said. “The students teach you as much as you teach them. I love the communication between the student and the teacher, and I love how the kids see the big picture. It makes me a better teacher.” Written by Todd Gallagher ‘82 -24Fryeburg Academy, 745 Main Street, Fryeburg, Maine 04037, (207) 935-2001 x 3137, www.fryeburgacademy.org, e-mail-alumni@fryeburgacademy.org

You and all the dedicated alumni and “The Fryeburg Family” keep the Academy special. I graduated in 1961 and my wife and I attended my 40th anniversary but missed my 45th. Maybe we can revisit this summer if gas doesn’t jump back to $4.50 per gallon! It’s a long way from Northern Michigan (Kalkaska) to the Academy.

this nice, warm weather with no ice or snow.” 1964 Ron Moore ‘64 writes, “Thank you so much for the information on Reunion. Being in Oklahoma for over 29 years creates some problems. It’s during this time of year that we usually travel, have choir commitments, or have family commitments from both sides. I am still a New Englander and Red Sox fan. I recently retired from civil service after 27 years at Tinker Air Force Base and Dick Hill ‘49 with Eva Dunn Ward ‘49 from the US Army Reserves. 2005 was a good year to slow down. We would appreciate a little Go-Sooners cheer this year. My best to all. I am still pinching myself that I am actually living in Oklahoma and not Boston. Best to all in the Class of ‘64.” Email Ron at: dkay421@sbcglobal.net 1965 Brian Smith ’65 is the owner of North Country Fair Jewelers in North Conway, NH. He was preparing for the shop’s 40th anniversary celebration on June 20th, and said, “We opened for business in May 1969, 40 years ago, it’s hard to believe. …We were open less than a week, then we closed for a week; not to put up a sign saying ‘gone fishing,’ but to go to Woodstock. That sort of set the tone.” Brian remembers bringing his bentwire “Peace” symbol jewelry to the Woodstock festival, thinking he would sell them. True to his generous nature, he never sold one there – he gave them all away. It was the spirit of his generation; and over the years, Brian has brought that same approach to local community causes, always giving back for whatever fundraising auction that comes his way. “I grew up in nearby Lovell, and when I came here after college (at the University of Maine), I was always welcomed here, long hair and beard and all. You remember, this was 1969, and there was a lot going on, but it was always about whether you worked hard, and whether you were a good person,” said Brian. As for the community-giving aspect of his nature, Brian shrugs and says, “Giving back is a very natural thing to do. It’s the flow of a community, and this particular community is alive with that energy flow. Many communities are like that – I just happen to care about this one, and like other people here, I do what I can do.” And that, perhaps, is the charm behind Brian’s story. Brian has a staff of five (daughters, Jennifer Julian, Emily Smith-Mossman and Katie Smith; girlfriend, Lenore Allen; and part-timer Amelia Preece). In the span of the shop’s existence, Brian says he has worked with an amazing array of artisans, 32 or so is his guess, all of whom have shared his passion for fine workmanship. He says all three of his daughters are incredibly talented. Looking ahead, Brian Corliss Watson ‘48 and his wife, Shirley

Ben writes, “The Hobbs House in those days was a small off-campus dorm with only eight male students in residence along with the teacher-proctor, Mr. Larrabee, of physics/chemistry fame…’zero equals infinity.’ We were a small, select group that became quite close; often going to each other’s home for a weekend from school. This group was very active at the Academy and includes three top students, two class presidents, graduation honorees, a baseball 400-hitter, a star basketball center/high scorer, and an All-Oxford football player.”

Earl R. McAllister ’49 writes, “Dear Classmates of 1949: As much as I would love to be with you to celebrate our 60th Anniversary, I must pass this great occasion of ours. I still have all of those beautiful memories of Fryeburg Academy during 1949. Everyone was so pleasant, helpful, and congenial. I remember that wonderful evening of our senior prom, and Louise Davis Stone ‘49 accepted my desire to escort her that evening. Elizabeth Hurd DesJardins ’49: you were the beautiful classmate that sat beside me while we attended our biology class in Miss Lane’s room. Archie Milliken ’49 and Robert Harriman ‘49, I learned later in life as I pursued my genealogy, were on the McAllister family tree. Reta Marie Plummer Jewett ’49 was a neighbor with plenty of congeniality with that God-given smile of hers. I remember most of you, and reflect on the great presence of yours as I entered adulthood. What a pleasant and gratifying year of 1948 to graduate with all of you during 1949. Enjoy your wonderful meal Saturday evening. It has never been surpassed by any meal I have partaken of during my life. I’m trying to say it was the greatest. Yes, it has been the greatest. Not to worry. I am exceptionally lame. It is difficult for me to maneuver about. Presently, I can still place myself in my Saturn to enjoy traveling about: doing my shopping or enjoy eating at restaurants. Whoa, Earl, you don’t need to write a book to tell your classmates how you were blessed to have had them in your life. Mischievously, Dick Hill ‘49, you deserve a hug. May God bless you all, your family, and all of your loved ones. P.S. It was good to see David Moulton ’49 at our 50th class reunion.”
doesn’t plan to alter anything too drastically. He’ll continue to do engravings and repairs, and deal in diamonds, gold and silver coins, and custom, handmade, antique and estate jewelry, but with a greater presence on the Internet. Brian says, “We have found the role of the traditional jeweler, the oldfashioned model where the jeweler worked in his studio, is the most comfortable for us to work with and it seemed to bring the most acceptance from people. But I think what it really comes down to is heart.” (The Conway Daily Sun 6/6/09) 1966 Jackie Merrill Sparks ’66 is the Executive Director of Children Unlimited, Inc., in Conway, NH. She has been appointed to serve on the NH Attorney General’s Task Force on Child Abuse and Neglect.

Along with a local reporter and their driver, David was abducted outside Kabul, Afghanistan, on November 10, 2008. At the time, he actually was on leave from the Times and was researching a book about the history of American involvement there, when he was invited to interview a Taliban commander in Logar Province outside Kabul. The commander was linked to the insurgency network believed to control much of eastern Afghanistan, across the border from Pakistan. David, who years before had been taken prisoner while reporting in Bosnia, had instructed The Times’ bureau in Kabul about whom to notify if he did not return.

all right. David’s father, Harvey Rohde, said David and the local reporter finally escaped their captors by climbing over a compound wall after their guards fell asleep. He said the pair had waited for a hot night, because the compound’s loud air conditioners would be in operation and drown out their footsteps. They had hidden a rope, which they used to climb out of an upper-story window. David walked until coming upon a Pakistani soldier, who escorted them to a nearby Pakistani military base.

Harvey, who could not even tell friends or members of his extended family, explained that any news stories and media attention simply would have made the journalist a higher-value prize in the eyes of the Taliban. David’s keen interest in Afghanistan was ignited in the intense three months he spent there after the September 11, 2001, attacks, and cemented during his tenure as co-chief of The Times’ South Asia Bureau from 2002 to 2005. David is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner. He won a Pulitzer in 1996 for coverage of wartime atrocities in Bosnia; during that overseas reporting stint, he was Irving Thurston ‘70 and wife, Robin, at Irving’s daughter, arrested by Bosnian Serbs and jailed for ten days on suspicion of being Brianna Thurston’s ‘09 FA graduation a spy.

Tougias. This is a recounting of the story of the terrible collision of two oil tankers off the coast of Mark Walker ‘72 with friends on July 4th Massachusetts during the harrowing blizzard of 1952, and the “suicide mission” that followed as the Coast Guard tried to save the 84 men trapped on the vessels, which had been split in half. Casey calls the story, “The greatest sea rescue in American history.” Casey came across the story when he was in Chatham on Cape Cod doing a book signing for A Rose for Mary: The Hunt for the Real Boston Strangler. A man told him what Jimmy Eastman ‘72 lives in Naples, Flori- he knew of this incredible rescue mission; and Casey said it really piqued his interest, and he da, with his wife, Lynne Jones Eastman ‘73 immediately jumped into the story. Many of the men rescued were from Portland, ME, and are quoted in the book. Casey says he sees the story as one of faith and courage under fire. He said, “People need to know that there are real heroes out there.” (Portland Sunday Telegram 7/19/09) 1990 Michelle Coombs ’90 and Evan Thoms live in Anchorage, Alaska.
