Michigan. It’s nice to be back in New England and reconnecting with family.” PETER MASON ’76 and Lynne Mason moved from Canton, CT, to Winter Park, FL, in August 2018. Peter and Lynne both used to live in the Orlando area so they have been reconnecting with old friends. Over the past year they have renovated their Winter Park house by adding a screened in pool and shed in the back, and expanding the front of the house by building a new garage and converting the old garage into a master suite. It was quite a process that took 15 months to complete but they are very happy with the results. Peter retired in November 2017 and the second year of retirement is going well but he hasn’t slowed down since he was the on-site project manager watching all the trades during the year-long renovation. Unpacking boxes of all the things that were in storage during renovation, and finding places for all the items has been the latest task. Peter and Lynne celebrated their 20 year anniversary in October 2019. Travel destinations this year included Alberta, California, Fryeburg, Maine (several trips), Massachusetts and New Jersey. Lynne is in her 29th year as an NBA season ticket holder of the Orlando Magic and looks forward to attending lots of games with Peter again this year. She is enjoying living near her daughter, Tracy, who also lives in Winter Park. With the house renovation nearly completed, more free time for sports and travel are planned for 2020. In August 2019 they attended Camp Agawam’s 100th anniversary weekend in
Raymond, Maine. This is a seven week residential summer camp for boys that Peter’s grandfather started in 1919. There were over 600 alumni in attendance and over 20 Mason family members there, so a great event. Peter’s mom, Peg Mason, who is 94 years young still lives in Fryeburg yearround, is doing well and still drives. She enjoys attending sporting events at Fryeburg Academy. Peter’s Dad, Dave Mason, who passed away in 2017 was over one hundred years old so Peter is counting on the family genes… DUNCAN SILVER ’76 is living in Lewiston, NY, and is the omni channel manager at JC Penney. He recently completed nine weeks of radiation for prostate cancer and immune-therapy for bladder cancer. Thankfully, both are in remission at current time. The Academy wishes him well. VIOLET MILLS EASTMAN ’77 was formally installed as the First Congregational Church of Fryeburg’s pastor on Sunday October 20, 2019. Vi earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Southern Maine, with a BA in English Literature and a minor in art history. She earned her Master of Divinity and later a Doctor of Ministry Studies from Bangor Theological Seminary. She and her husband, PETER ’75, have a son, Jeb, and four grandchildren. GINNY SISLANE ’77 “In December of this year I will retire from my 30-year tenure as controller for an international wholesale seafood company north of Boston.

MARGARET HATCH EASTMAN ’64 surprised classmates, SUNNY PENDEXTER, JOHN PENDEXTER, and ROYCE RANKIN with the presentation of the #1 Zipper Award at the reunion banquet! She finally got her revenge after these three “boys” played a friendly childhood prank on her — over 55 years ago! You’ll have to ask Margaret if she ever found out which one was the culprit! CAROL GRAY WILLIAMS ’69 is partially retired, living in Orono, ME. She is on the CDCA commission on dental competency assessments and a dental hygiene examiner. She spends all summer at her camp in Lovell, hiking, biking and kayaking with friends. She enjoys time with her grandsons, one in Maine and two in Colorado.
