Amherst, John Austin Hunt, Emeritus Professor of English at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, died quietly on Sunday morning July 26^th at Elaine/Hadley Rehabilitation facility after recent hospitalizations. He was “Austin” to folks in Oklahoma, and “John” elsewhere.

 

John was born October 27, 1930 in Bartlesville, OK.  His father, Cecil L. Hunt from Wagoner, OK, was Chief Counsel/Vice President at Phillips Petroleum.  His mother, India Miriam (Austin) Hunt, was a gifted pianist from Chickasha, OK.  His paternal grandfather from Clarksville AK was mayor and judge in Wagoner, OK, and his maternal grandfather from Whitewright, TX became President of Oklahoma College for Women in Chickasha, OK. John grew up in Bartlesville, OK where he attended public schools and worked summers on the pipeline and in the harvest fields.  His parents, later of Tulsa, OK, and younger brother David W. Hunt of New York City, predeceased him by many years.

 

At Washington & Lee University in Lexington, VA, John earned a BA in English and Philosophy (1948-52), and was  senior class president and president of his local Kappa Sigma chapter. He distinguished himself as director of dramatics for the university (on fellowship), producing and directing four plays.  This experience proved an early instance of John’s ability to develop administrative support within educational programs which allowed creative people to flourish.

 

With a Fulbright to England to study drama under Allardyce Nicoll (1952-4), John earned A PhD at the Shakespeare Institute of Birmingham University at Stratford-on-Avon (1966).  His doctoral study was interrupted by army service in the Antiaircraft Artillery Replacement unit at Fort Bliss (TX), where he taught target practice and sharpshooting, and at Fort Chaffee (AK) (1954-1956) where he married his first wife (Betty Chandler, deceased).  John returned to England and lived there for a decade and wrote his thesis while working for the US Air Force’s higher education program (1956-61) and enjoying victories with the Air Force fencing team before becoming Senior Area Director (England) for the University of Maryland Overseas Program (1961-66).  His European travels, and passion for music and theater did nothing to dampen his administrative appetite for classes, teachers and students rather than for custom-made suits and shoes, as his colleagues pertly noted.  He gained considerable respect for the rapport he had with his faculty.

 

John returned to the US in 1966 as an Assistant Professor of English (Shakespeare and Renaissance Drama) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and as “Master/Director” of Southwest Residential College, an experimental college of 5500 students.  With Residential College colleagues he facilitated departmental course sections in residence hall classrooms, lured faculty into living-learning teaching roles, and fostered an innovative curricula on racism, sexism and related social justice issues, years before such efforts took root elsewhere on campus.  He encouraged collaborative faculty, staff, and student budgetary and curricular decision-making.   Through the ‘60s and ‘70s the program flourished under his spirited and pragmatic direction, until the early ’80s when it was dismantled.

 

John became a vigorous chair of the Chancellor’s Commission on Civility (later the Chancellor’s Counsel of Community, Diversity and Social Justice, now disbanded) that offered visibility and voice for underrepresented campus groups.  He had two administrative stints as Assistant or Associate Provost (1974-5, 1976-9), providing advocacy and relative budgetary stability for the many non-traditional academic units grouped as Special Programs.  John returned to the English Department (1979) where he was Undergraduate Program Director while teaching Shakespeare full-time.  He offered courses through University Without Walls and took Shakespeare into local high schools, until his phased early retirement in 1994-6. 

 

During his University years and into his retirement, John was an enthusiastic squash and tennis player, a voracious reader, and active in local theater.  He sang bass baritone in the Hampshire Choral Society and with Valley Light Opera and produced voice-over narratives for Computer Science videos and for others who made use of his resonant voice.  Amherst visitors to the Huntington Museum in Pasadena, CA, were stunned to hear his voice-over describing maple-syrup production in Deerfield, MA.  John became a skilled sailor, rebuilt a 43’ steel-hull sloop The India Miriam, and sailed Long Island Sound and Maine waters. 

 

He started as an actor with male leads in high school and college plays and summers (1950-2) in “The Common Glory” (Williamsburg, VA). Later roles (1970s through 1990s) were in productions at Hampshire Shakespeare Theater (Thomas of Woodstock); New World Theater (Blues for Mr. Charlie); Project Opera (The Impresario); Smith College Theater 14  (Mourning Pictures, The Art of Dining, Misalliance, The Tempest); The UMass  Ensemble Theater (Love’s Labor Lost), Reader’s Theater (How Do We Choose to Live?) and Theater-in-the-Works at the Curtain Theater (The Wedding, The Bozo File, Out of Order, Saloon Society). He appeared in a local revival of MacLeish’s Panic and a staged reading of Gibson’s Handy Dandy.  John’s interest in community theater led him to help found and sustain Northampton’s City Studio Theater where he also acted (No Exit, Texas Trilogy, The Great White Class) and to perform readings of new plays with Valley Playwrights.  Those who saw him as Prospero in the City Studio Theater’s production of Shakespeare’s The Tempest at the Look Park Outdoor Stage were struck that this was a signature role, one he interpreted as the administrator for a small island who had to move quickly against great odds to settle things equitably for the next generation.

 

After retirement he continued sailing and reading as health permitted and travelled in Europe, South Africa and Yucatan, road trips along the Eastern seaboard and the Southwest, and long visits to London and elsewhere for theater, opera and music.  Summers were spent sailing in Maine unless interrupted by acting commitments in Western Massachusetts.

 

John was a great-hearted, forward-looking, and courageous man, loyal, honorable and generous, with integrity, a sharp wit and a quick warm hearty laugh.  He was deeply private but brightened the moment someone entered the room.  He adored good stories, especially about local and national politics, and held his friends close to his heart. For his wife of thirty-five years, Maurianne Adams (Emerita Professor of Education, who survives him), he was a mentor, best friend and irreplaceable buddy. 

 

John wanted no funeral or memorial services, but there will be a special event for friends and University colleagues in September.   Gifts in his honor can be made to the Cooley-Dickinson Visiting Nurse Association/Hospice, who were very good to him.

Amherst, Louis Fischer, 91, died surrounded by family on July 29, 2015, after a short illness. 

 

Lou was born in 1924 near the Czech-Hungarian border to Hungarian Jewish parents. In 1939, Lou, his two older brothers, and his mother fled Hungary and moved to Lorain, Ohio, where he completed a K-12 American education in two years. He strengthened his English skills by working part-time as a movie theater usher.  

 

After finishing high school, Lou enlisted in the US Army and was sent to the Pacific front. He served in Papua, New Guinea and participated in the landing in the Philippines, where he was wounded and spent 11 months recovering.

 

Aided by the GI bill, Lou attended Ohio State and then Stanford for law school, where he met Barbara Bree, his wife of 63 years, on the breakfast shift in the student union.  He went on to practice law in Monterey, where his caseload included a pro-bono discrimination case representing African American servicemen who were being denied service in local bars.

 

Inspired by his wife’s work as a teacher, Lou began to turn his attention to the philosophy of education. He received a Ph.D. in Education from Stanford University, became a professor of Education at the University of California, Northridge, and served as president of the John Dewey Society.  He spent most of his teaching career at UMass Amherst, and following turmoil in the department, served as Acting Dean for the School of Education. He later worked as an assistant to the University Chancellor for several years. His scholarship focused on the rights of teachers, students, parents, and counselors, and he co-wrote numerous books, including Teachers and the Law, which is currently in its ninth edition. 

 

After retiring from UMass, Lou worked as a consultant for Georgetown University Street Law Project and U.S.A.I.D., designing and conducting workshops on democracy, human rights, and the rule of law in Eastern Europe and newly independent Soviet States.

 

Lou was a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather, a voracious reader and an accomplished tennis player. He is survived by his wife, Barbara Bree Fischer, of Amherst, MA, his daughter Valerie Bang-Jensen and son-in-law Lars Bang-Jensen of Burlington, VT, daughter Cathleen Potosky and son-in-law Cyril Potosky of Chantilly, VA, and daughter Judith Bree Miller of Belchertown, MA. He is also survived by five granddaughters and two grandsons-in-law: Bree Bang-Jensen and Travis Bouker of Arlington, VA, Leah and Chris Ferezan of Haymarket, VA, Emily Potosky of Washington DC, Nell Bang-Jensen of Philadelphia, PA, and Jillian Miller of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. They will remember him for many reasons, but most of all, for his grace in raising three strong daughters and five granddaughters, his love of quince and all good food, crafty tennis shots, delight in making puns, and determination to teach his family Hungarian phrases, despite limited success.

 

In light of Lou’s commitment to American ideals, in lieu of flowers, the Fischer family requests that well wishers make donations to Project Citizenship, which helps permanent residents overcome barriers to naturalization.  Donations are accepted online (www.projectcitizenship.org), by mail (4 Faneuil South Market Building/3^rd Floor, Suite 4025/Boston, MA 02109), or by phone (617-694-5949).

Amherst – Mary Frances Hough, 94, of Amherst, died on Tuesday, July 7 at the Center for Extended Care in Amherst, where she received excellent care.

She was born on October 7, 1920 in Santiago, Dominican Republic, to James Webb of Illinois and Maria Giralt of the Dominican Republic.  Her parents met when her father was serving in the U.S. Marine Corps in the Dominican Republic and her mother was teaching Spanish to the Marines.  She spent her youth growing up in Santiago and became a teacher there. These years were troubled by the brutal dictatorship of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, and in later years she shared many stories of the effects of the dictatorship on her family and friends. 

She married Curtis Hough of Lissie, Texas on April 24, 1948, who was working for Plantation Dauphin, a sisal plantation near Cap Haitien, Haiti, and there raised three children.  She home schooled her children and was a scout leader to many of the otherchildren.  In 1964 they moved to Killeen, Texas, where Curtis purchased an automobile dealership.  After Curtis died in 1987, she continued living in Killeen until 2003, when she moved to Amherst, Massachusetts, to be near her son Gary and his family.  While living in Killeen, she served as a volunteer at the Metroplex Hospital, of which she had many fond memories.  In Amherst, she lived in the Ann Whalen apartments and was a member of St. Brigid’s Catholic Church.  She was an amateur artist, musician and an ardent bridge player all her life, and a member of the bridge group at the Bangs Senior Center in Amherst.  She was a passionate reader, and after she could no longer read print, she joined an audio book club that came together at the Senior Center.

She is survived by her three children Gary Hough, Frances Hough, and Margaret Bonneville, her daughter in law Mary Pryor Hough and son in law Jeffrey Bonneville; four grandchildren, Jennifer Hough, Emily Mileham, Sadie Bonneville, and Tara Bonneville; and three great-grandchildren, Octavion, Zoe, and Marcelo Emerson.

Mary Frances will be remembered by her family as a creative woman of great intelligence and presence, a deep and playful sense of humor, a ready engagement with everyone who entered her life, a natural command of graciousness and charm, and for the courage and good spirits with which she faced her final years.

A funeral service will be held for her at St Brigid’s Catholic Church in Amherst on Friday, August 7, at 10 A.M.  Her ashes will be buried in Eagle Lake, Texas, beside her husband Curtis.
