Madeline and Jack spent many happy years on their "petting farm" in Brookline, New Hampshire where Madeline was a Registrar at the N.H. Votech College in Nashua. Retiring to Horseshoe 12 years ago, they enjoyed many wonderful years of traveling, including trips to the Grand Canyon and to the ancestral home in Scotland.

I cherish a fond remembrance of Madeline. When my husband Ron and I were new to western North Carolina a number of years ago, Madeline—and Jack, too—offered a friendly welcome and reassurance that we had,indeed,found a home here. We met at UUFH and I regret I have lost touch. My condolences to Jack and those who loved her—hers was a life well lived. Roxana White
