ALUMNI NOTES Nancy (Wheatland) Biglow ’45 writes that she moved away from the North Shore to Cambridge, MA, and went on to travel all throughout Europe. In 1953, she married her husband, Lucius Biglow, Jr., in Harvard Chapel. The family relocated to Seattle, WA, where Lucius practiced corporate law and Nancy taught school for one year before having four children: Lucius, John, Timothy, and Anne—and she now has four grandchildren! Her son, John, rowed for Yale University and then for the U.S. national team. He even won bronze medals at both the 1981 and 1982 World Championships! Nancy remembers her four years at Shore fondly. Margaret Shaw Dean ’49 writes that she lost her husband four years ago, but still lives in the Washington, DC, area near her son, who lives in Maryland.
