1938, Red Wing, Minn. Children, Mary Jane, March 3, 1940; Robert Holt, July 5, 1942; Emilie, Nov. 8, 1944.


My interest in debating has increased, with two results: I have had a small share in the tremendous progress that Harvard has made in this activity; and last spring I was a judge in the National Intercollegiate Debating Championships at West Point, where Harvard had reached the finals in 1957. It was a most stimulating experience.


I took the whole family on a camping trip to the west coast in 1956, another wonderful experience.

FREDERIC COURTLAND PALMER: Architectural Designer. Home Address, "Dunstaffnage," East Haddam, Conn. Office Ad- dress, East Haddam, Conn.


Except that the names of the historic buildings or those of the private clients would be changed, there would be little to dis- tinguish the 1960 report of my activities from that published in 1950. My architectural services continue to be in reasonable de- mand.


The restoration of New London's Hempsted House was my most important archaeological work. The more recent restoration, decoration and furnishing of the Mansfield House for the Middle- sex County Historical Society turned out to be the most appealing to the general public.

35th Anniversary Report


During 1959, because of the determined effort of a few local residents, the once famous Connecticut River landmark, here in East Haddam, the Goodspeed Opera House of 1876 (later known as Goodspeed's Folly) was saved from imminent destruction by the state and was deeded with over four acres of river frontage to a new tax-exempt Foundation, which now with general and influ- ential support is raising over half a million dollars to restore the Opera House to its former Victorian splendor. Under the direction of the Foundation, a theatre with modern equipment and services will be contained within the shell of this unique structure, which towers five stories above the steamboat dock. The theatre will be the nucleus of a cultural center, served by the adjacent hotel of the same period and complemented by a marina and public park and picnic area. Quite unpremeditatedly, I find myself at the vortex of all this development, as an original incorporator and then as a trustee, and now as head of the architectural restoration of the building.


I continue to lecture on architecture and life in the Colonial period in Connecticut. My diversions continue to be keeping the collection of classic Rolls-Royce cars running and maintaining my old house, which, with three others in the restoration of which I had a hand, appeared in The Second Treasury of Early American Homes, 1954, by Richard Pratt. Of this publication, Time said: "Shows, entirely in color, fifty-seven of the nation's most beautiful homes."

Still in private practice limited pretty much to the estate plan- ning, probate and real estate problems of the average American from Main Street.


As the melody of "Life Begins at Fifty" lingered on, I decided it wasn't such a bad idea and I began to devote an increasing amount of time to indulge in my personal preferences which are mostly reading, conversation and the discussion of current affairs. Particularly do so-called controversial subjects fascinate me - if indulged in with good humor and respect for the right to dissent. I have been helping promote the study and discussion of foreign affairs and to help create, in my small way, an interest in effective world law and federalism without resigning ourselves to the blight and tyranny potential of a homogenizing world government. Other- wise, the enduring satisfactions of my life, as I see it, are close enough. I find them with my family and friends and in the pleasures of my library, home and garden.

For the past five years, I have been working at a trade I learned at the Harvard Law School - namely, that of being a lawyer. I can testify it was easier being a judge. I now have to work for a liv- ing. My specialties are criminal law and family law, though occa- sionally another type of case wanders into my office. In my matri- monial practice, I have become the Harvard Law School's gift to lunatic ladies - God bless them - but how they like to take their darling husbands for every dime. They all read the chapter in my book, The Truth About Divorce, entitled "The Husband Pays."


Seriously - practising law, teaching law at New York Univer- sity Law School, writing occasional articles on law, occasional re- search (e.g., the critical analysis that I did of American policy on
