Donald Edwards wrote: “We are enjoying retirement in South Bristol, Maine. Gardening and outdoor recreation, always a love of mine, are our pleasure now. I still engage in military analysis for the media, and especially enjoy aiding younger veterans. Visiting Walter Reed Army Hospital tears at my soul, as we witness what these two horrible wars have done to many of our younger people. Let me close by asking everyone to hug a vet when you see one; that hug means a lot to these young people who feel abandoned in many cases.” Bill Rousseau wrote: “Retired in 2008 after a 47-year career in education (62-68 at VA, 68-72 at Northwood School, Lake Placid, NY, 72-08 Pine Crest School, Fort Lauderdale, FL). Teacher, coach, athletic director, department chair, camp director, assistant headmaster and other administrative positions during career. Inductee in Athletic Hall of Fame at both Vermont Academy and Pine Crest School, Honorary Alumni, Pine Crest School (1994) and numerous other academic and athletic awards. Now living in San Francisco, California, where my wife, Patti, and I are fully enjoying this amazing and diverse city and all it offers, as well as our four grandchildren. Best wishes to all on “The Hill.”
