Geraldine Hale Wescott
had a zest for life. Before she was a wife and mother, Geraldine went on a grand adventure. She took 3 months and solo hiked across England and Norway in the late 50s when young women didn’t really do those things. She had a library science degree from Simmons College in Boston and studied for …

How did you spend the first rainy Saturday in October?
Meteorologic fall is here.
The run up to Labor Day weekend this year meant the semester began at Lycoming and I was busy after a summer of non-stop home improvement projects.
