Over the Hill Hikers

Connie Crooker ’69 served as editor for a very special book, Over the Hill Hikers (Jetty House, an imprint of Peter E. Randall Publisher, 2011), which chronicles the ups and downs of a group of White Mountain hikers led by Connie’s mother, Elizabeth MacGregor Bates. The group of retirees in Sandwich, New Hampshire, became a cohesive bunch of happy hikers under Elizabeth’s instinctive use of casual leadership. Connie says, “The author, Shirley Elder Lyons, is a professional journalist with a snappy writing style. Mom conducted many of the hiker interviews that form the basis of the book. We are thrilled to see Mom’s truly remarkable achievement honored, and in her lifetime too.”

Meaning in Law: A Theory of Speech

Meaning in Law: A Theory of Speech (Oxford University Press, 2009) was published by Charles Collier ’72, professor of law at the University of Florida.

In his book, Charles develops a legal theory of speech on the basis of linguistic theory and the philosophy of language.
