In 1953, he received the first Del grew up in Ellsworth and attended two others survived. This heroism and Bachelor of Science degree awarded at schools there.

I told Del that it

6 Ledger | Fall 2010 There were some lean years financially during Mr. Merrill’s tenure, and some of Maine’s post secondary schools, such as Nasson and Ricker, failed. But Del was not going to allow that to happen to Husson. His loyalty, competitiveness and willingness to listen served him well. He looked for every opportunity to help the school succeed. He instituted the nursing program in collaboration with Eastern Maine General Hospital; he started our first master’s degree program in business administration; he oversaw the purchase of the New England School of Broadcasting (now NESCom) and the International Center for Language Studies and established the annual holiday party that is beloved by the greater Bangor community. I would like to share a few of my own memories with you of this wonderful man. In the summer of 1953, when I was 12 years old, Del and I worked together as janitors at commerce Remembering Del hall on the old campus at 157 Park Street. We painted, cleaned, repaired furniture and got to know each other. My pay was 25 cents per hour and I think Del earned a dollar per hour. We shared stories and lots of laughter. He had a way of listening that made you feel special. In those days, Chief and my mother hosted annual faculty parties at our Green Lake camp. Del always put away prodigious amounts of lobster and clams, and beat all campers at horse shoes. He was a fierce competitor. Bruce MacGregor, long-time Husson faculty member and coach at Husson, recalls intense racquetball and basketball games. “We beat ourselves unmercifully,” said MacGregor. “Del always played to win!” Del had a wonderful sense of humor. Bob O’Donnell, ’72, Del’s son Bob Merrill, and I shared many fishing and camping trips. The camaraderie and the laughter and the fun were far more important than the fish. As Clara predicted, Del did become a great president (as Chief knew he would). He was special. Thank you Del for all you did for Husson and all you did for me.
