January 6, 1927 â January 8, 2021
On January 8th, following the celebration of her 94th birthday two days prior, Mary Glover Bastin passed peacefully into the Lordâs hands while surrounded by her family. The eldest child of Thomas Maxwell Shircliff and Martha Bayard Somes, Mary was born in Vincennes, Indiana, on January 6, 1927. She graduated from the Ladywood School in Indianapolis, attended the Sorbonne in Paris as one of the first students immediately after World War II, and graduated from Marymount College in Tarrytown, New York. Mary had the rare ability to grace every room she entered; she seldom expressed an unkind word and made each person she met feel as if they were the only person in the room. Though schooled in the social graces of that era, she was a woman ahead of her time and strived to experience the world.

Hilaria Gets Married
The Hilaria Baldwin story gets funnier and funnier. Scott wrote about it here. Briefly, “Hilaria” Baldwin, social media star and wife of the anti-Trump actor and activist Alec Baldwin, has been impersonating a Spanish immigrant for many years.
In fact, her name is Hillary Hayward-Thomas, and she is from Boston. Her father was a Boston lawyer and her mother was an internist at Massachusetts General Hospital and, I believe, on the faculty of Harvard Medical School. Hillary grew up in Boston and attended prep school there. For sheer comedy, it will always be hard to top her Today show appearance, where, impersonating a Spaniard and talking about cooking, she uttered the immortal, heavily accented line: “We have very few ingredients. We have tomatoes, we have, um, how you say in English cucumbers.”

Richard L. Odien never forgot the 1954 fire that took the lives of 15 of his sixth grade classmates in Cleveland Hill Elementary School. In fact, he told their story to educate youngsters in the Depew school district, where he taught for 27 years.
He served on the planning committee for a memorial to the youngsters who lost their lives. At its dedication, he told a reporter, When I was a teacher and my fifth graders went outside for a fire drill and were talking and laughing, I would bring them back in and tell them about this fire. Every year, I would tell them about this fire.
