PAGE DeFOE Nutmeg Lane Westport, Connecticut Dear Page, Your 3:00 a.m. bed time . . . swollen glands gave you an appearance that no one else had . . . but not even you could understand why four packs of cigarettes a day didn’t turn you green ... it would have been ap- propriate since green and black are your favorite colors. Listening to records after hours and read- ing were always factors in your daily life. Your pet peeves clung to you as fits do . . . Everyone inevitably saying, “I wish I was,” instead of “I wish I were,” and peo- ple who insist that you button your button- down collars. I guess it’s because you’re frank enough to say that it bothers you. Many would say that your favorite people were a strange choice, but they are far bet- ter than most. Isn’t it “owls” first then H. L. Mencken, Dylan Thomas and Theolon- ius Monk? About 100 years from now there may be an intellectual owl who has a strange apti- tude for garlic bread, living in Mexico, an- swering to the name of Persephony, hold- ing the spirit of Page DeFoe. Love to all the “owls” down the hall. Anne Taylor BETSY DEVLIN Lincoln Road Wayland, Massachusetts Dear Betsy, We remember your favorite expressions: “Finnn..e Thank you” . . . “The noise, I just can’t stand it” . . . “I ' m so sleepy, I got up at five” . . . “All I want is a good solid piece of meat.” And your very pre- dominant habits like . . . double ice cream cones at the field house, and 5 cups of steaming Yuban Coffee each day. Pet peeves consist of cold weather, baggy Ber- mudas, and ugh! — caviar. Your favorite activities are eating gobs of Tobler Choco- late. We remember your long, fast walks to Georgetown — destination grocery store. We all admire your athletic enthusiasm for hockey and basketball. Hard worker in all her subjects, plus plenty of determina- tion. We’ll never forget, either, the day you said, with great consternation, that you couldn’t fit your dress over the ironing board. Love, Gwen Rowan 30
