Gordon Lyle
shares this up-
date: “Connie and I moved out
of Connecticut, mostly because
of ice and snow, to the lovely
city of Charleston, S.C., with
a church one block from our
house. For medical reasons,
we moved to Bishop Gadsden
Retirement Community. My
address is: 3 Bishop Gadsden
Way, Apt 3-212, Charleston,
S.C. 29412. My wonderful wife,
Connie, passed on two years
ago, and, in the ensuing period,
I developed pneumonia twice
and have been in and out of
the hospital. However, I am
still here doing the best I can. I
just had a wonderful visit from
Tony Duke ’37
. I look forward
to seeing any of you when you
are in the area. My phone is
843-406-6422.”

A winter update from
Burton
Closson
: “My granddaughter,
Laura Closson Dean ’04
, has
been working for the Carter
Center in Cairo, helping to
monitor elections and covering
the riots of August 15, where
she was present for the Brook-
ings Institute. Her mother and
father,
Lucie ’75
and
Paul Dean
’75
, are now living in Geneva,
where Paul is working for the
Bank of Kuwait. “Also,
Pete
Gurney
recently opened a new
and very successful play in New
York called
Family Furniture
. It
was enthusiastically reviewed
in the
Wall Street Journal
.”

This from your form director,
John Scully
: “This year we
moved to Maine, and today it
is one degree below zero. I am
looking forward to seeing all
you worthies in short-sleeve
shirts in June. Your attendance
will make us all happy.”

Peter Stearns
reports: “On
Saturday, September 14, 2013,
Truman Bidwell
married Lud-
mila Schwarzenberg Hess at St.
Thomas Church in New York
City. A reception followed at
the Knickerbocker Club.
Albert
Francke
was best man and
Bill
Emery, JoeWilliams,
and their
wives were there to wish Tru-
man well.
“The daughter and grand-
daughter of an old SPS buddy
were visiting New England
schools during Alumni Vol-
unteer Weekend and I had the
pleasure of taking them around
the SPS campus. The following
comments from a thank-you
e-mail are worth passing on:
‘And I can see what a unique en-
vironment for learning and per-
sonal development the School
offers. I told Mike that it almost
seemed like joining the space
program. My impression is that
the School is truly dedicated to
making each young person the
best he or she can be.’ My senti-
ments exactly!
“We had dinner with
Asa
Davis
and his wife, Debbie,
here in New York City. Asa is
going through a rough patch
health-wise with quarterly
visits to Sloan Kettering but,
undaunted, he plans to be ski-
ing Jackson and Targhee this
March. I expect to see him on
the golf course this summer.
He and Debbie have a house in
Driggs, Idaho, and a home in Sa-
vannah. If you want to give him
a call, his telephone number is
912-231-6666.
“Finally, Terry and Joe Wil-
liams joined Bill Emery on a
river cruise from Provence to
Paris in September 2013.”
