• Paul J. Aumand, 88, of North Walpole, N.H. Died Dec. 9 at his home. Born in Bellows Falls on June 17, 1928, the son of Ernest and Mary (Ratchford) Aumand, he attended schools in North Walpole, was a 1946 graduate of Bellows Falls High School, and graduated from Dean Academy and St. Michael's College. He receieved his Master's degree in engineering. He was an All-American football and basketball player at St. Michael's. He was self-employed as a builder as Paul J. Aumand Construction and also worked for Aubuchon Hardware and kept busy for many years after retiring. He was a member of American Legion Pierce-Lawton Post 37, B.P.O.E. 1619, and the Polish American Club, all in Bellows Falls. During the entire time of his accomplishments, his sense of humor seemed to not only sustain him, but also encourage him. He became the master of the elaborate practical joke in town, and the stories of these pranks are still the stuff of legend in all the clubs he belonged to. From the time he was a young husband and father, he gave North Walpole his time, talent, and treasure as if it were perfectly natural to do so and endeavored to give everyone the best facilities, opportunities, and encouragement to enjoy all forms of outdoor activities. Making the skating rink behind the fire station, building dugouts and installing real bases at Nim's Field in addition to cutting the grass in the summer, to the crowning accomplishment of designing and constructing a full outdoor basketball court, eventually with lights, right next to his home. His insistence that children of all ages play and have fun was probably the most inspiring thing he did. He continued later on with his monetary support and herculean effort to make the Post 37 Legion baseball program what it is today. In 1949, he married Eleanor L. Mackee, who predeceased him in 1996. Surviving are his children, Paul “Hooker” Aumand Jr. and his wife, Debi, of Bellows Falls; Michael Aumand and his wife, Ann, of Massena, N.Y.; Linda Lake and Dave Hallock of Bellows Falls; Susan Aumand of North Walpole; Patrick Aumand Sr. and his wife, Mary, of North Walpole; William “Bill” Aumand and his wife, Lori, of Westmoreland, N.H.; Jon “Boomer” Aumand and his wife Tracy of Walpole; and Kim Aumand and Todd Novak of Westminster. He is also survived by his brothers, Ernest “Turk” Aumand Jr. and his wife, Sophie, of North Walpole and Raymond Aumand and his wife, Ellen, of Florida, as well as 17 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.

• Isabel (Gleasing) Lee, 97, of Dummerston. Died Dec. 7 at Vernon Green Nursing Home. Born in the Woodhaven section of Queens, N.Y., on July 11, 1919, she was the younger daughter of Charles and Sarah Jane (Timmerman) Gleasing. She attended public schools in the New York metropolitan area and graduated from Richmond Hill High School in Queens in 1936. She was a proud graduate of Barnard College, Class of 1940, with a degree in sociology. She began her career as a reservations clerk with the fledgling American Airlines in Cleveland. Back then, the reservations were tracked on a chalkboard and the reservations clerk had to phone each passenger to advise them of delays and cancelations. Luckily, the DC-3s held only 21 passengers. From there, she moved to American Airlines reservations in Detroit, to be closer to her college flame, Richard Valentine “Dick” Lee, a student at the University of Michigan. They married in 1941, after his 3 p.m. chemistry lab, with his two male roommates flipping a coin to see who would be the bridesmaid. A few months later, when the U.S. entered World War II, her husband became a flight instructor in the Army Air Corps. Early married life was itinerant, as they moved between small midwestern towns with airfields whose owners held Army Air Corps training contracts. As they moved around, she tried her hand at various war production factory jobs. Eventually, she went back to work for American Airlines and was at the teletype machine when the airline put out a hiring call for pilots to fly war-essential cargo. Her husband became a co-pilot for American. The couple moved to Nashville and later came back east to Kew Gardens in Queens, N.Y. In 1944, she became the first woman to staff the iconic information booth “under the clock” at Grand Central Terminal. Her son Richard (Hank) was born in 1945 and her daughter Deborah in 1948. Like many post-war families, the Lees moved to the suburbs, settling in Massapequa on the south shore of Long Island. With her children in school, she decided to become a teacher. She earned an M.Ed. from Hofstra College and taught fifth- and sixth-grade classes in the Massapequa public schools, primarily at Unqua School. In the 1960's, she proudly walked the picket line to help establish the teachers' union there. Widowed in 1970, by 1976 she was ready for new horizons. She moved to Thomas Hill in Halifax in February 1976 and later that year sailed her sloop, “Serena” from Massapequa to her new winter residence on Pine Island, Florida. Her winter stays in Florida were devoted to caring for her elderly parents and ailing sister, Margaret. Back in Vermont during the spring, summer and fall, she delighted in getting to know her many new and interesting neighbors on Thomas Hill and in the Brattleboro area. By age 80, Isabel recognized that life in the hills of Halifax was no longer practical for her and she moved to Dummerston. Although she had grown up a city girl, she loved her life in Vermont. She valued the natural beauty, the friendliness of the people, and the richness of the cultural life in Vermont and New England. She especially enjoyed the variety of great live music in Vermont, particularly the productions of Friends of Music of Guilford, “Noel Sing We Clear,” the Marlboro Music Festival and Putney's Yellow Barn concerts. Throughout her adult life she loved gardening and was an avid plant collector. She read widely and every week completed the Sunday New York Times crossword puzzle in about half an hour - in ink - while watching her favorite Masterpiece Theatre program on PBS. She was an accomplished cook and enjoyed entertaining frequently as she was rich in friends who visited her from around the country and the world. She had a lifelong love of travel, whether a simple camping trip or excursions to Europe, South America or Asia. She always hoped she'd get in one more trip to Paris. In her later years, she delighted in cruise ship travel. She is survived by her son Richard “Hank” Lee of Putney, her daughter, Deborah Lee and her spouse, Georgianne Copley of Eastford, Conn., plus a special friend, Johnny Carroll of Putney. She held dear the friendships of Nick and Carole Ann Zachary of Walpole, N.H., and their children Michael and Nicole, as well as of Muriel and John Stahl of Baldwin, N.Y. Memorial information: Friends and family will gather to celebrate her life at a date to be announced.
