Also had a nice letter from senior roomie Linc Hascall's wife Florence. Linc has a little trouble writing, so she took over the chore. I had written to them last spring to get news for this column and mentioned that Joanna and I were hoping to go to Nova Scotia this Sept. They wrote to ask us to stop in Portland to see them on the way. Our plans changed but we hope we can see them next year, either at reunion or on our way to Nova Scotia next fall.
Ossie Wales '43 called me the other day to tell me that my senior roomie, Link Hascall, had had a second minor stroke but is doing well. Joanna and I hope to take a mini-tour of Nova Scotia this fall and hope to see Linc after some 56 years!

PORTLAND -- Lincoln 'Linc' Hascall died peacefully on Feb. 1, 2009, at The Cedars in Portland.
Linc was born in Portland to Evelyn Wunderlich Hascall and Lincoln H. Hascall Sr. He graduated from South Portland High School, and after spending a year at Bridgton Academy he attended Colgate University, Class of 1942, where he was a member of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. Lincoln had tremendous pride in Colgate as his great-great-great-grandfather, Daniel Hascall, was a founder of that University.
Upon graduation from Colgate, he married his childhood sweetheart, Florence Estelle Harrington Hascall at Trinity Episcopal Church in Portland.
During World War II, as a U.S. Coast Guard Quartermaster, he taught Seamanship and Navigation while stationed at Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn, N.Y.
After the war, Linc started his professional career in the family tire business. But after 13 years, he followed his heart (and his wife Florence) to South Portland High School where he taught science for 25 years. A 1/3 miler and hurdler at Colgate, he shared his love of running as SPHS Red Riots track coach to a fine group of young men of whom he was most proud. Later, he directed track meets for the Southwestern Maine Track Association. He cherished his years at the high school, his bonds with faculty, administration, teams, and students, carrying fond memories of these friends and times throughout the rest of his life.
Upon retirement, he and Florence re-joined Trinity Episcopal Church where he served as Vestryman, Junior Warden, and a member of the Men's Club. He also enjoyed traveling, repairing and restoring furniture, family, and people in general. He was always so willing to help other people; the kind of person who would stop and offer mechanical help to stranded motorists with car problems. Linc took great pride and pleasure in the cabin that he built in Georgetown on the coast of Maine, loving to sleep with the sounds of the breaking waves and wind in the trees. A series of strokes impaired his mobility but his kind humor won many friends among caretakers at 75 State Street and The Cedars, and his family appreciates their excellent and kind care and support.
Linc's wife and parents predeceased him.
His children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and spouses include his son Charlie Hascall and Debbie Hascall of South Portland, and their children Jessie Hascall of South Portland and Sarah Hascall of Bethel; son Peter Hascall of Portland; daughter Holly Hascall Dominie and her husband David Dominie, and their children Reid Dominie of Littleton, Colo., and Lincoln 'Will' Dominie of Oakland, Calif.; son Chris Hascall of South Portland and his daughters Lindsey Maxwell, her husband Tim and children Taylor and Aiden of Standish, and Corey Hascall of Portland.
