Kevin E. Dayhoff Almost everyone can reminisce back to the days of their youth and recall the influence of a favorite childhood teacher. For me, I loved school and I have a number of favorite teachers; however, the first among many may very well be my 12th-grade English teacher, William Granville (“Mike”) Eaton.

A Legacy of Learning Lives On

The Babylon Family of Westminster

and the Historical Society of Carroll County

Announces the Creation of a Lasting Memorial to

William Granville (“Mike”) Eaton

William Granville “Mike” Eaton (1908) was a renaissance man until he died in 1995,

For 41 years, Mike Eaton taught English and drama in Carroll County schools, 38 of those years at Westminster High School. Always he demanded excellence.

He gave to his community through the Westminster Kiwanis Club. He gave to the community through his affiliation with Grace Lutheran Church. He produced memorable theatrical offerings as coach of the Westminster High School Drama Club.

Eaton nurtured future leaders through the Kiwanis Key Club and inspired many students, friends and colleagues to higher glory. Among his students was writer (On Golden Pond), director and actor Ernest Thompson whose work has won him an Oscar, a Golden Globe and Writer’s Guild of America awards. Although best known perhaps, Thompson is not the only student Eaton inspired to excel in the creative arts.

For over three decades, Mike Eaton was Thelma Hoffman’s star boarder at Hoffman’s Inn, now owned by the Historical Society of Carroll County and known as Cockey’s as it was known when built in 1820.

In life Mike Eaton was roasted and toasted. In death he is being memorialized in the room that was his very own at Cockey’s.

Under the partnership of the David Babylon family of Westminster and the Historical Society of Carroll County, former students, friends and colleagues are building a lasting memorial with a lofty but achievable goal.

The first $10,000 has been raised to open the Mike Eaton Room on the third floor of Cockey’s, complete with much of his memorabilia catalogued and displayed. The second goal is the raising of $25,000 to name a second floor conference room. When that goal is accomplished, the Mike Eaton Committee and the Historical Society will raise a $250,000 endowment that will carry the Eaton name forth in perpetuity for years to come.

Eighty percent of the earnings generated by the scholarship endowment will go directly to qualifying, graduating students who will also be asked to name their most inspirational teacher for a recognition gift. Twenty percent of the scholarship fund will go to support the educational mission of the Historical Society.

Committee Chairperson Evelyn Babylon notes that it will take much dedication and time to develop a scholarship endowment of this magnitude. Criteria for scholarship applications will be completed at a later date and amounts will be determined by the returns on the endowment investments.

Linda Collison: “Star-Crossed”

Posted August 11, 2009

For a larger image click here: http://twitpic.com/dhez8

Linda Collison’s - my Westminster High School Class of 1971 classmate - first novel, Star-Crossed (Knopf; 06) was chosen by the New York Public Library to be among the Books for the Teen Age -- 2007. For more information: http://www.lindacollison.com/

According to published materials:

“The novel was inspired by the three weeks she spent aboard the HM Bark Endeavour, a replica of Captain James Cook's 18th century ship. Linda is a mother and grandmother, and at long last chatelaine of her castle…

“Linda Collison is a jack of all trades and master of none, just as her mother feared she would become.

“Linda has managed to kluge a composite career, making a living as a registered nurse, skydiving instructor, waitress and shoemaker, to name a few of her occupations.

“She has published in a wide and sundry assortment of publications, from literary magazines to Ladies Home Journal.

“In 1992 her life changed dramatically (again!) when she married fellow skydiver Bob Russell. With Bob she wrote two guidebooks, Rocky Mountain Wineries; a travel guide to the wayside vineyards and Colorado Kids; a statewide family outdoor adventure guide (both books by Pruett Publishing.)”
