Milton Hutson, war veteran, 'loved to work'
The things Milton Conner Hutson cherished most were the ones he found early in l ife and nurtured for much of his 83 years. He died Thursday.

Mr. Browne returned to Iwo Jima with many of his comrades in February 1995 for the 50th anniversary of the invasion. He brought back sand from the beach as a remembrance. "He loved it. It was one of the highlights of his life," said his daughter, Kathleen Sterrett of Newtown.

Margaret Hodell, pianist, ardent Reds fan
Margaret Hodell enjoyed being a concert pianist and writing songs for entertainer Phil Harris. But what she really loved was the Cincinnati Reds.
"She was an adamant Cincinnati Reds fan," said Rev. James Haney of Saint Christopher Episcopal Church in Lubbock, Texas . "She was cremated in her Cincinnati Reds cap and jacket."
Mrs. Hodell, 85, a Cincinnati native, died Feb. 28 in Lubbock. Rev. Haney conducted a memorial service for her Saturday in Lubbock.
Mrs. Hodell graduated from what is now the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. In 1940, she married Dr. George Hodell, who preceded her in death, and after World War II, they moved to Houston.
Mrs. Hodell was trained as a classical pianist and performed in concert. "She especially liked Chopin and Beethoven," noted Rev. Haney.
Mrs. Hodell also enjoyed popular music and wrote tunes for Harris, popular in the 1940s and '50s. "She said she had a lot of fun working with Phil Harris," said Rev. Haney.
But, her life-long passion was the Cincinnati Reds.
"The Reds, that's what she loved to talk about," said Rev. Haney. "She said her parents took her to her first Reds' game when she was an infant.
"She loved the Reds. Her favorite player was Tony Perez. She had a signed picture of him hanging over her bed.
"During the last few days of her life, when it was hard for her to talk about anything, she talked about how happy she was that Ken Griffey Jr. had been traded to the Reds."
Survivors include two daughters, Betsy Brock of Lubbock and Sarah Hodell of Honolulu; a son, Jonathan Hodell of San Leandro, Calif., and four grandchildren.
