The death of Professor Richard Buel saddened many. While he lived at Essex Meadows, his presence along the Connecticut shoreline was apparent. He and I met monthly at a CVS. He led a remarkable life.

Daughter Annie is a child therapist in New Jersey and rescues dachshunds; five right now. Other daughter, Liz, has three children, ages eight to 14, girl/boy/girl, in Dundee, Michigan. Her husband works in an area nuclear plant.

Our world has shrunk to clinics, CVS, and TV. Maybe add library and food. I read large print. God willing, I will return for Commencement. Writers/artists/friends always welcome in Old Saybrook.
