Yes I do. He and my aunt (his wife) felt he had invested too much time in Bowdoin to leave. However, they both felt Bowdoin was too insular and wanted their kids to broaden their horizons so to speak. They also felt the town of Brunswick was divided between 3 distinct categories, Bowdoin academic personnel, US Navy personnel, and workers who serviced either community.

He loved Bowdoin as a professor but not as a father of a potential student.
