November 30, 2014Alice Haskell Fleming, 94, passed from this world on Nov. 17.
Alice lived in the Damariscotta area for the last 31 years, and previous to that her life was pleasantly entangled with Maine for many more years. Her family had a summer place on Dutch Neck from about 1935 to 1950. Alice loved it there and always wanted to come back.
Alice was born in Baltimore, Md. in 1920. She grew up in Amherst, Mass. where her father ran the Agricultural Experiment Station at UMass. She went to high school in Mamaroneck, N.Y. and she graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Oberlin College in 1942.
Alice was kind, compassionate, frugal, very independent, and uncompromising about her principles. Some would describe this as being pigheaded. She was hard on people who were unkind to animals, or who were guilty of using bad grammar. As far as was known, no one ever beat her at a game of Scrabble.
After college, she worked as an executive secretary for 17 years in New York City. Then she moved to Denver, Col. to marry William Noble Fleming and to teach kindergarten for five years. Eventually, after a divorce, she moved to Maine to build and live in her dream house. She was a founding member of the local Unitarian Fellowship, and she was known for writing acerbic and grammatically correct letters to the newspaper.
Alice is survived by two nephews and their families who live in New York State.
She was active in many liberal organizations such as those fighting for the environment and seeking to control overpopulation. She loved words, singing, hiking, houses, birds, chipmunks, and cats. Her family likes to think that she was the one who always heard the music.

Peninsula Daily News (Port Angeles, WA)
March 20, 2022WESTON HASKELL (WES) was born in the City of Orange Township, Essex County, New Jersey to Lena Edna Waldron and Raymond Arnold Haskell, whom he often fondly referred to as "Pop".
Being gifted with a brilliant mind, Wes became a dedicated student and, after attending Duke University, as an undergrad for 3 years, he went on to achieve a PHD in Petroleum Chemistry in 2 years at Princeton University. Wes served his country joining the regular army, based in Hawaii, from June 1946 to April 1949.
He married Dorothea Gosnell "Kit" and they had two children "Cindy" and "Patrick". Sadly they divorced in l963 and Weston re-married Diana Bremer in 1965, who gave him another son "Walter".
Wes became a Research Scientist for Shell Oil Company and moved his entire family over to their depot in Chester, England, where they lived for 3 years. Wes continued to work for Shell in various States throughout the USA, spending most of his career in Houston, Texas. After 36 years, he retired in December l992. Wes then set up his own company named "Haskell Pharmaceuticals" and continued his passion for research. In 2005, Wes discovered that green pecan shucks contained an antiseptic property that could fight against MRSA which, undoubtedly, could save millions of lives in hospitals and on the battle field. Wes managed to obtain a grant of $40,000 for Methodist Hospital Lab Houston to conduct clinical trials on his discovery but, regrettably, he was not able to obtain further sponsorship from DARPA.
Ironically, Wes contracted this deadly infection during the last days of his life!
Weston had a vivid imagination and, during his retirement, he went on to write several part fictional books including "The Mendocino Chapter" and "An Interesting Companion".
He also became President of the Art Society in Houston and was often invited to be a Judge at several Science and Engineering Fairs. In 20l5, at the age of 87, Wes re-married a British lady, living in Spain, named Kathryn Wilson. The couple moved to Sequim and had their wedding ceremony in the garden of their new home "Dreamland" in Highland Hills, this estate being built by the Bell family from Scotland. Co-incidentally, after marrying, they discovered that they both had Scottish heritage dating back to "Robert the Bruce", who was the King of Scotland during the 12th century. Consequently, the couple decided to name their newly adopted cat "Mr. Bruce". Wes enjoyed traveling extensively with his younger wife to Spain, Alaska, Florida, California, Mexico, Hawaii and Canada, during the "golden years" of his life.
Being a water sign, Wes loved the sea and enjoyed many years sailing his yacht in Galveston Bay. The newly wed couple also joined the Sequim Bay Yacht Club and enjoyed sailing their jointly owned 32 ft yacht named "New Frontiers". Wes was a great athlete and received several awards for swimming, enjoying other water sports like ski-ing and scuba diving.
Sadly, he died on 4th March, 2022, in Highland Court Nursing Home, Port Angeles, only 2 weeks from reaching his 94th birthday. Wes had been an avid jogger since the age of 26 and this physical fitness program surely contributed to his longevity. Wes was very sociable, fun loving, with an extremely young spirit behind his blue sparkling eyes, as well as heart of GOLD.
He will be sadly missed by all who knew him and is survived by two sons and four grandchildren. As he wanted to be cremated, his wife is going to ensure that he receives a full military honor's burial at sea by the local Coastguards. MAY HE REST IN PEACE!

Mrs. Haskell studied with prominent individuals in her field such as renowned psychologist Bruno Bettelheim at the University of Chicago.
Mrs. Haskell devoted her life to others in a varied career in public service, including work as a teacher, social worker, case worker, and public assistant. For example, in casework for the Bensenville Home Society, she worked primarily with foster children and their adoptive parents, including disturbed parents and children. She secured proper home environments, counseled parents, maintained follow-up procedures, and attended court hearings. Another example of her public service was the development and implementation of a pre-school program for the Grace Presbyterian Church of Houston.
Diana was the youngest of three children of the late Jesse Bremer and the late Eunice Bremer of Hillsboro, Illinois. She married Weston Haskell of Edwardsville, Ill., in 1965 and bore their son, Walter, in 1967. She also helped raise Mr. Haskell's small children, Patrick and Cindy from a previous marriage. The couple was divorced in 1985.
