1930s

Lester C. Huse, E'35, of Randolph Center, Vermont, has made a strong impression on his friends and acquaintances. This note comes in from neighbor Christopher L. Slayton: "Lester lives alone across the street from me. He is still very active mentally, solving any problems that will give purpose to each day. His physical mobility is decreasing, but it is not uncommon to see him still mowing his two acres of lawn, snowblowing his driveway, or tending his flowers and shrubs while sitting on his lawn tractor. Les also manages his household chores. His computer has enabled him to spend the past ten years researching his heritage. This project is just about complete, and all the Huses are in correct chronological order. Les has been accepted for admittance to a newly constructed assisted-living complex. He has enjoyed a productive and successful career as an engineer, a loving marriage, and close ties with his children and extended family. He has contributed his talents and financial resources to each community in which he's resided. Les demonstrates clearly what it means to be a lifelong learner and to meet each day with a positive attitude."
