Russell “Rusty” Bastedo retired from his position as New Hampshire state curator in February 2009. He was only the second state curator in the state’s history, and was in his position since 1997.

In office, Rusty’s main task was to locate decorative arts and fine arts owned by the state, assign them numbers, and describe and photograph them. His biographies of state-owned portraits can be viewed at www.nh.gov/nhdhr/publications.

Judge Richard Toth ’68 has returned a historic plaque to Colorado College. The plaque is believed to have hung on a wall inside the east entrance of the Perkins Hall of Fine Arts that stood near Cache La Poudre and Tejon streets from 1899-1964. During demolition of the building in 1964, a young Dick Toth rescued the plaque from a pile of debris. In 1987, Perkins Lounge in Worner Center was named to preserve the memory of Perkins Hall. In returning the plaque, Dick asked the college to display it in order to honor the faculty and students who studied and performed in the old building. The plaque now hangs in Perkins Lounge.
