Harrison "Hob" Hoblitzelle
December 6, 2001
Harrison Hoblitzelle, known as "Hob," died peacefully at home early Thanksgiving morning, November 22, 2001, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In many ways, however, Waitsfield was his true home. Along with his wife Olivia and his family, he spent weekends, vacations, and finally many months here in his later years.
An enthusiastic skier, Hob built a house on the Common Road in l956 and loved to reminisce about bushwhacking up Mt. Lincoln with the founders of Sugarbush--Damon Gadd and Jack Murphy--along what would become the lift line of Sugarbush South. He served on the board of the original Sugarbush Corporation for many years.
Known in the early days as "Harry," Hob was born in St. Louis, Missouri in l923. He went to Princeton University and received his Ph.D in Comparative Literature from Columbia University. Having written his dissertation on "The War Against War in the 19th Century: the Western Backgrounds of Gandhian Thought," he had a lifelong commitment to peace and social justice work. In the l950s and 60s, inspired by the Swiss-based Service Civil Internationale, a precursor of the Peace Corps, he led a number of workcamps for the American Friends Service Committee in the U.S., Haiti and Europe.
He often said that this international relief work changed his life. The projects, composed of volunteers from many different countries, worked side by side in areas where there had been natural disasters.
During this period, he taught English and Comparative Literature at Barnard College, Columbia and later Brandeis University where he was Director of International Programs.
In a mid-career shift, Hob attended Harvard Divinity School, trained in counseling psychology, and became a director of Greenhouse, a mental health collective in Cambridge where he practiced individual, family and group psychotherapy.
Having trained extensively in Buddhist meditation here and in Asia, in 1992 he was ordained a Dharmacharya, senior meditation teacher, in the Tiep Hien Order, a lay order founded by Vietnamese Buddhist master Thich Nhat Hanh. During the 80s and 90s, he taught Buddhist meditation in a number of different settings. For him, teaching meditation allowed him to combine his love of literature, his humor, and his interest in the wisdom traditions of East and West.
He also spent several years studying with Father Bede Griffiths, a Benedictine monk who integrated the essence of Christianity with Eastern spiritual traditions. Fr. Bede spent a number of months in retreat at Hob and Olivia's house on the Common Road, along with three other monastics, where occasionally they opened their liturgies to interested friends and neighbors from The Valley.
Hob leaves his wife Olivia and two children, Ethan Hoblitzelle of Watertown, Massachusetts, Laura H. Bak of Seattle, Washington, and two grandsons.
The Hoblitzelle family would like to thank everyone in The Valley who gave so much love and support during Hob's journey with Alzheimer's. A celebration of his life will be held at the Round Barn at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 27, 2001.

November 8, 2001

Lucy received her education at Moretown Elementary School, graduated from Montpelier Seminary in 1932 and took nurse's training at Providence Hospital, Rhode Island.
She married
Andrew "Andy" G. Tweedie, a professional engineer and surveyor, on August 31, 1935 in Moretown. Their early life was spent in Watkins Glen and Stillwater, New York. During World War II, Andy worked for a consulting firm and they traveled all over the United States, living in forty of them.
In 1946, Lucy's husband went to work for the New York State Division of Highway Planning and they settled in Delmar, New York. From 1950 until his death, Lucy was an assistant for Andy, who was also a professional magician. She was a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and had attended the NYCAN conventions since 1949. As a member of the Delmar Methodist Church, Lucy served as the buyer for the church for seven years and co-president with her husband in the Couples Club.

An avid sports fan, especially football and NASCAR auto racing, she and her husband attended many professional football games and were lifetime ticketholders of the Daytona 500.
Skiing was also a major sport throughout their lives that started with climbing Mt. Mansfield's Toll Road long before a chairlift was built. They both belonged to the 70+ and 80+ ski clubs. Every summer Lucy enjoyed and took great pride in her camp on East Long Pond in Woodbury. She loved nature, especially trees, flowers and the loons, of which she had an extensive collection. She enjoyed mowing the lawn, splitting kindling and growing more cucumbers than anyone else. She also kept up her parents' home in Moretown about which she liked to joke: "I was born in that house, married
in that house and I guess I'll probably die in that house." She chose not to.
Lucy's greatest love and concern were always for her family and her "nation-wide" friends. She is survived by her daughter, Roxanna "Roxy" Quero of Montpelier; four grandchildren, Rae Reagan and her husband, Dale, of Moretown; Rick Quero and his wife, Donna, of Elizabethtown, New York; Rorri Quero and his wife, Jennifer, of St. Petersburg, Florida, and Ruchel St. Hilaire and her husband, Tony, of Hinesburg; six great-grandchildren, Mandy and Cole Reagan of Moretown; Harlie Raye and Hunter Quero of Elizabethtown, New York; Tylar St. Hilaire of Hinesburg, and newborn (October 30, 2001) Thomas Andrew Quero of St. Petersbury, Florida; many cousins in Vermont, Florida, California and Wisconsin.
