Frederic B. Hill ’58

Marty and I remained pretty much in our home on the Kennebec River in Arrowsic, ME for the last two years, canceling trips to England and Scotland, (to play golf there again) and southern Africa. We did have pleasant visits from our daughter, her husband, and three young grandsons from Baltimore; and our son from San Diego. Three more books to be published this spring, A Flick of Sunshine, written with Alex Hill; Beyond the Tides; Classic Tales of Richard Hallet—a significant Maine author, and a biography of Sen. Charles "Mac" Mathias, for whom I was foreign affairs director before the State department: Mathias of Maryland: Last of the Lincoln Republicans. Last year, Dereliction of Duty; The Failed Presidency of Donald John Trump was published with some success by Amazon Books. Now working on a novel, first effort at fiction! Also pleased Bowdoin College has established a Public Service Initiative I proposed along with Amb. Thomas Pickering several years ago. And I look forward to another return to Marion to speak to students on foreign policy, writing, and editing etc.
