Dorm life at Marland Hall; songs, singing for hours; Ted's for coffee;
the Big 4: Dody, Nancy, Gail Mc, Jake; wonderful camaraderie that was
Nasson.

Roger "Doc" Doran, '61
I was at ReUnion 2001 for a few hours and reconnected with the Butler
group and found that Nasson was alive through clouds of memory, and
some folks whom I could reach out and actually touch. I wish that more
folks were here in this venue. Coming here via ether is neat and keeps
the spirit well for all of us who have built our continuing lives on
our years together at Nasson.

Glidden Hall.
From
Martin Cohn, '61
I lived in Glidden Hall for one year as well as in Maine Hall but my
fondest memories are of the two years I lived at Butler's. (We called
it Butler's Palace.) I think it was turned into an infirmary after the
Butlers passed on. It was at 11 Oak St. Only four or five of us were
allowed to live there. At some point it was razed. My education at Nasson
prepared me to be a teacher.... Who else has fond memories of Doris
Reando who was a graduate as well as registrar and instructor for many
years?
From
Roger "Doc" Doran, '61/62
I just found the web site. It's great, good and sad for an old alum
who remembers the "good/Gay" days.
Your first note is from Martin Cohn, '61. His memories and mine of campus
life are similar as we both lived in Glidden Hall for a year and I lived
my remaining 3 years at Butler's with Martin, Guy Smith and Deitz Heinz
- all 1961 guys and all teachers, I think. There was one other gentleman
whom I do not remember right now. Martin and Guy remember "woodsy
teaching" and many neat times in one another's rooms. I can see
Martin's Zenith short-wave radio that sat by his bed, and hear Guy's
Jeepster starting up. Mr. and Mrs. Butler were fine Maine folks who
took good care of us over the years. I wish there were more alum registered
from '61.
The memories are tough when I drive through Springvale. I stopped once
and wandered about a bit in 1986/7. The foundation of my life was there
amidst deserted buildings and walkways once filled with folks I won't
forget even though I've lost my yearbook and been out of touch for most
of the time that I've been away. I haven't been to a reunion except
the first one where I almost severely hurt James Blades '61 with what
they would now call a cross back block.
I have been on the campus and it is filled with living ghosts.... sad.
But great web site. Thanks for all your work.

Meeting my husband and my roommate, "Ding". Learning to live
together as we all did and get along with not a lot to do at times on
campus. I am so glad to find this page and know something about ones
we often speak about. Memories are precious and we savor them. Would
love to hear from you all.
From Judie E. Harmon, '62
Although I didn't stay to graduate from Nasson College, I have many
fond memories of great people and places. I would love to hear from
anyone who was there at the same time I was -- 1958-59. Over the years,
I have been in contact with a few former classmates: Jay Jay Maltese,
Sue Worthen, Jack Desjardins,s Jack Leader (We taught together for many
years), Sandy Rhoades, Ben English, and Stan Mullen, to name a few.
Many of you I've lost contact with, and would love to say hello and
learn about your life.
From
Bob Hodsdon, '63
Nasson holds so many great memories. From my stay at Bradford Hall during
my Freshman year, followed by my next two years in Glidden Hall and
finally, my Senior year at Oak Hall, my Nasson experience has proven
to be a most rewarding one. Now as I approach my 60th birthday, I look
back to a myriad of memorable moments. How about those Chaucerean pilgrimages
with Dr. Herberger along the Mousam River, or sitting on one of Dr.
Ciullo's great physiology classes! Then too, there were those great
English and American literature classes taught by Mr. Whittier and Dr.
Bovie. The friendships developed with both faculty and students during
my Nasson experience have become more and more meaningful with the passage
of time. Who can ever forget the great art work of classmates like Glen
Alden and Dick Brown. Then there was the truly inspirational figure,
Dick Mailman with his seeing eye dog, Cindy. Though Dick was blind,
he showed his grit in many ways. I recall him playing touch football
across from Glidden Hall. Not being able to distinguish players from
trees, he tackled a three inch sapling. Ouch! Oh yes, and those notorious
tent parties on weekends along the Mousam River when the warm days of
spring appeared. Thank you Nasson for such a great education and for
so many lasting memories.

Sitting on the porch of one of the dorms and singing Kingston Trio and
Peter, Paul, and Mary songs while somebody played the guitar, trips
to the "big town" of Sanford, gathering with friends, pulling
all-nighters cramming for final exams, listening to music on the phonograph
in the dorm, breakfasts consisting of glazed donuts and coke from the
Lion's Den, the "good old days".

My mother started working at Nasson College as Lenore Welch and finished
as Lenore Taylor. Her career with Nasson started in 1966 as a clerk
and she finished in the basement of Brown Hall as Head of Student Accounts....
My father, Robert Lee Welch, also worked for Nasson College during the
school's hay days of the seventies. He worked for the Maintenance Department....Nasson
was a great influence on my young life growing up in Springvale. I can
remember eating with my family at Luigi's Pizza, and trying to sneak
into the Lions Den only to be chased out by the students....
From Scott Hovey,'64:
Going
to Nasson was the best mistake I have ever made. It was a great experience
that I could never have had elsewhere!!!
