  • Evolution of the White Mountain Magnia Series
    EVOLUTION OF THE WHITE MOUNTAIN MAGNIA SERIES RaNoor.pn W. CnapuaN, Vassar College CnenrBs R. wrr";;: , Cambri.d,ge,Mass. PART I. DATA Pnosr.BM In recent years, a number of intensive field and laboratory studies of the rocks of the White Mountain district in New Hamp- shire have been carried out. One result of these investigations is to show that there exists in this area a group of rocks with marked alkaline affinities (3)* to which the name White Mountain magma serieshas been applied (5, p.56). The various rock types of this group form a definite series,and wherever found in the area they possessthe same relative ages.Such a sequenceis of greatestim- portance to petrology and necessitatesan explanation. Accord- ingly, the writers have undertaken a study of this problem, the results of which are presented in this paper. ft is not pretended that this work is complete or that the problem has been entirely solved. Certain definite conclusions have been reached, however, and it is hoped that these may lead to a more complete under- standing of the evolution of the White Mountain magma series. The writers are especiallyindebted to ProfessorMarland Billings of Harvard University for his valuable assistancein preparing this paper. Several of the major ideas presentedhere were first sug- gested by Professor Billings, and these have led to a clearer under- standing of many of the intricate problems encountered in the course of the work. The writers also wish to thank ProfessorEsper S. Larsen, Jr., and ProfessorR. A. Daly for their many helpful suggestionsand criticisms.

Draper was a New York Times writer who resigned to work as a forest ranger in upstate New York before the war. Wounded on Mount della Torraccia and with two Bronze stars, Draper returned to New York after the war and was instrumental in picking out the site for a new location for a state-funded ski area after its Marble Mountain location proved untenable. The second manager of Whiteface was Hal Burton, a veteran of the Columbia Icefields expedition, the 2662 detachment to Terminello, and author of a book on the 10th.

  • Mirror Lake Hosts a Private Seaplane Base in Tuftonboro
    Vol XXII, No. 4 A Quarterly Newsletter Published by the Tuftonboro Association Fall, 2020 Mirror Lake hosts a private seaplane base in Tuftonboro If you live on Mirror Lake you have undoubtedly seen the lovely red and white 1956 Cessna 180 amphibious float, also known as a seaplane, take off and land. T.R. Wood, a Kingswood High School graduate and his family moved to the Tuftonboro side of Mirror Lake years ago seeking a slower pace after decades on Lake Winnipesaukee. T.R. is a third-generation pilot and his near-teenage son is well on his way to becoming the fourth generation in the air. T.R. is quite proud that his son already exhibits some of the skills of older, more experienced pilots. The family has a long history with planes starting with T.R.’s grandfather who flew Consolidated PBY Catalinas during WW II as he patrolled the Atlantic and Caribbean searching for submarines. His pilot skills were also in use throughout the Korean War. Both T.R. and his father, Tom Wood, have been commercial pilots. The history of flight in popular literature began with the Wright brothers’ famous exploit on December 17, 1903 four miles south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Seven years later Henri Fabre piloted the first seaplane in Marseilles, France. By 1911, Glenn Curtiss, the founder of the U.S. aircraft industry, had developed the Curtiss Model D. His Model H series T.R.
