Checking in Reaching out

Good morning all . Hope everyone is well and safe . I have been thinking about trying a pilot project which would start with 2 to 6 folks trying out a zoom event to touch base . Any folks interested ? my email is stefan.mattlage@gmail.com Ph 603 228 3591 Snail mail 30 hampshire drive concord , nh 03301 a couple of thoughts of content . As we are restricted in our ability to travel around it might be fun to hear about prior trips that folks have taken . Pics would be a nice adder another would be a suggested book or books suggested movies We have gone back in time . We watched guess who is coming to dinner and lilies of the field

Belmont Hill School 1967 & 1968

Hi BHS alums , I have spoken with a few of my BHS classmates . I floated the idea that it could be interesting to have a sharing of pictures , travel experiences and recommended books list . Let me know what you think . Pics could be from back in the day , current pics and anywhere in between . I take lots of wildlife pics especially birds . Travel pics are also a significant % of the files . Any suggestions would be appreciated . Bob Wright , Len Edgerly , Chip Edgerton , Henry Ogilby , Lee Todd , Bob Cushman , Bill Cornish John Fitzgerald Vinny Lynch I will haul out the Year book and add more names , Thinking would be possible to create a closed facebook page or some other app Hope all is well and hope your 2020 is great Stef Mattlage

At Dartmouth, Exploring Quantum Computing With the Experts

Hi Belmont Hill School Class of 1968 . Meet Robert Claflin for lunch today in Concord NH today . For fun I asked him if he had relatives around Boston . His cousins went to BHS and he is also related to Weeks and Springs . Small world

Was out and about early this a m looking for birds at Horseshoe Pond. It was s medium day. In the afternoon I was gardening up a storm. As I looked around the yard I spotted a Common Yellow Throat and glimpsed what I think was a black and white Warbler. Maybe tomorrow I will stay at home and let some more warblers come to me. This was the first time I had seen these warblers at my house. I got this vision os a star wars bar scene of all sorts of warblers hanging out in my back yard laughing their tails off while I meander through the woods and thickets looking for them. Tomorrow it is a cup of coffee in a deck chair in the back yard and let those devious little critters come to me.

Planets Align / Martin Mugar

Recently out in the social media I bumped into Martin Mugar . As things turned out Martin was part of a show that came to the Kimball Jenkins Estate ( http://www.kimballjenkins.com/2015/2/4/vgt6gh2f6w6ulmwaa1pkd8rgrytkmz ) in Concord , NH . I hadn't seen Martin for about 48 years . I happen to live in Concord NH about 2 miles from the venue for the show . We meet at a small gathering at the venue a couple of days before the official " Opening " We had a chance to chat for a bit before the "walk through" that Martin did . It had been a while since I had been to an exhibit and explored some of the styles , concepts and history of art / painting . It was a delightful experience. A couple of days later I attended the opening with the artists present . I was able to go back and take a number of pics of the pieces in the show to serve to remind me as I have since revisited the experience in my mind. On one of the days that the show was being taken down I arranged to drop by and we went out to lunch . Talk was of many things including shared experiences at BHS , the classmates and teachers we remembered . We had very similar recollections of where we were on the day JFK was assassinated . I have always had an interest in the paths we have taken in or lives , some seem likely , some very different. I would encourage folks to reach out and find out some of the stories our friends and classmates have taken through the years . I have found the process has informed my looking back on my life . Jump in. I would be intrigued to have other people that crossed paths with me at Belmont Hill chime in. Also recently I have been in contact with Jack Olive . It was delightful sharing where our lives have taken us. Regards Stef Mattlage
