July 18, 2014VALCOUR � Mary "Mimi" Haskell McDowell, 86, of Valcour, died Monday July 14, 2014, at home. She was born on April 18, 1928, in Bradford, Penn., the daughter of Richard M. and Helen (Dickson) Haskell.
She was a 1949 graduate of Connecticut College. At Connecticut College one of her classmates, Peg McDowell, arranged a blind date for Mimi with her brother Dave, a 1st classman at the U.S. Naval Academy. Their friendship renewed when Dave attended submarine school in Groton, Conn.
Mimi married David Barber McDowell of Plattsburgh on July 29, 1950. They had three sons Rob (1951), David (1953), and William (1956) and a daughter, Mary Katherine (1960).
The McDowell's moved to Plattsburgh in 1958 for Dave to join his father, Dr. Edward S. McDowell, in his medical practice and Mimi became very involved in the Plattsburgh community. Over the years she served on several charitable boards, including the CVPH Women's Auxiliary, the CVPH Foundation, the Children's Home (later the Northern New York Center), the Northern Adirondack Planned Parenthood, and the Kent Delord House Garden Club. In 1967, Mimi helped form the local chapter of the League of Women Voters and she became their inaugural president. She was active for many years in the Adirondack Lakes Pony Club, and she was the longest serving docent for the Plattsburgh State Art Museum.^
After the death of her husband in 2004, Mimi hosted New Year's Eve parties for her fellow single woman friends. These festive gatherings became the basis for the "Better Way", a broad group of women who supported one another and met every month to discuss ways to navigate the "third age". Mimi will be remembered for her resilience, her devotion to her family, her laughter, her love of books, her love of friends, her nononsense advice, her expertise in the garden, her sartorial splendor, and for driving a Norwegian fjord horse in a cart along Route 9 South.Mimi is survived by her two sons and daughtersinlaw, Rob and Jan McDowell of Beekmantown, Bill and BrittMarie McDowell of Plattsburgh; and by her daughter and soninlaw, Kate McDowell and Dave Rider of Burlington, Vt; nine grandchildren, Damian, Brooke, and Parker Stafford, David McDowell, Nina, Sam, and Olivia McDowell, and Will and Jack Rider; and several greatgrandchildren.

December 16, 2022COLEBROOK - William Haskell, of Pondwood Farm, passed away recently at age 89 at his home with his loved ones at his side.
William was born and raised in Bradford, Pa., and Stamford. He attended The Kent School (Kent, Conn.) and Mercersburg Academy (Pa.). He earned his B.A. at Yale and his M.S. at the Columbia University School of Journalism. William took a leave of absence from Yale to serve three years with the Green Berets (77th Special Forces), U.S. Army Airborne.
William was a man of letters and loved reading, mostly nonfiction (he devoured The New York Times every single day and would regularly consult the Encyclopedia Brittanica). He loved words and writing and spent the majority of his journalism career writing for the Torrington Register, where he covered court proceedings and produced a popular weekly column Hill Country letter. Working at the Register allowed him to maintain a bucolic lifestyle at his large property, Pondwood Farm, in North Colebrook.
Before working at the Register, he worked for newspapers from New Zealand to Nantucket, with stints in broadcast news at WTIC in Hartford and in Manhattan for news units of CBS, NBC, ABC. He preferred print journalism and one of his favorite assignments was for Science magazine, who deployed him to Antarctica to cover a story.
His favorite pastime after retirement was cutting firewood and sitting on the terrace overlooking the pond where he could observe nature unfolding before his keen eyes.
William was a fan of wildlife and nature, and especially a fan of crows and ravens that he raised and cared for. He also enjoyed riding motorcycles, hunting, and traveling the world.
William Haskell is survived by his loving partner, Marcia Evans, and his loving children, Anne and Ben Haskell, Ben's wife Jill, and his four grandchildren Kate, Morgan, Adam and Laura.

October 21, 2014Evelyn Wellington Danforth, educator and caregiver Lyn's love of life carried her through all the stages of her 75 years.
Beginning in her 1940's childhood in Weston, she was a creative and cheerful mother's helper to three younger siblings as well as companion to her grandmother and namesake Evelyn Wellington at the family's farm, Gateway
Her skill with children and confidence with language led her to her first job as an au pair in France at age 16. After receiving a degree in Early Childhood Education from Bennett College, Lyn did student teaching on a Hopi Reservation in Gallup, NM before accepting a teaching position at the Peck School in Morristown, NJ.
Later on, after marrying science journalist William Haskell at 20, and raising their two children on a farm in rural Colebrook, CT, she realized her dream of running a preschool by opening her home to neighbors with small children. Called The Living Room, the enterprise became the seed for the Winsted Area Nursery School, which she started with two other teachers in 1976. The themes of her preschools were clear: structuring the day in a thoughtful way, showing respect for each child, valuing their individual needs and interests, staying connected to nature in all seasons, and exploring joyful expression through songs, rhythms, art and words.
A very active new phase of Lyn's life began when, after her marriage ended, she moved to Nantucket to become a partner in an educational search firm, Educational Management Network. She also set up and ran a popular B&B, "Danforth House" on Main Street. Lyn became devoted to the Quaker community, served as Clerk of the Meeting and worked to restore the original 17th century meetinghouse.
She wrote this about joining the Cape and Islands Friends community: I feel I have a huge new family. Im so attracted to the simplicity, respect for each other despite differences, and the beauty that comes out when people worship together. Lyn later became a full-time caregiver to elderly residents on the island who wanted to stay at home despite challenges such as dementia. In her journal of the experience, she called the caregiving profession "very honorable". Her loving-kindness was the foremost quality in her work as caregiver, and she worked to brighten the lives of her charges, making each day enjoyable for them. With the Quakers, Lyn studied racial justice and peaceful coexistence, and she practiced at home and at work what she understood on a global scale.
When she bought her first home in a diverse neighborhood in Roslindale in 2007, she and her daughter hosted students from around the world who were studying to learn English, and always made them feel welcome.
Even after suffering an aneurysm and several strokes over the past four years, Lyn maintained courage and a cheerful outlook for her new companions and caregivers at Weston's Sunrise Senior Living house. She died there with her siblings and children around her August 15.
Lyn is the mother of Anne W. Haskell of Roslindale and Benjamin D. Cowie-Haskell and mother-in-law of Rev. Jill Cowie both of Marshfield. She dearly loved her four grandchildren Kate (21), Morgan (21), Adam (19) and Laura Cowie-Haskell (19), all now in college. She is the elder sister of Nicholas W. Danforth, Julie Hyde and Nina Danforth, all of Weston.
