ObituaryJun 20, 2009Palm Springs, CA, USA, Desert Sun: Nancy Houghton Bacon was born August 8, 1928 in Hartford, Conn. to Jeanne and David Houghton. She was a graduate of Northfield School in Mount Hermon, Mass. and Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY. She graduated with her Bachelor Degree in Art. While at Skidmore, she met her husband Dick Bacon, who was attending Dartmouth College. She called it the "Luckiest day of her life!" Her children include Deborah Bacon Warren, married to Gene Warren of Healdsburg, Calif., and Richard Bacon Jr., married to Ruth Ann Bacon of Irvine, Calif. She has two adored grandchildren, Sara and Richard Bacon, III. Her sister, Priscilla Houghton Flynn, of West Hartford, Conn. and her brother, Alan Houghton, also of Conn., survive her. Her executive husband's business led to several moves starting in Cleveland, Ohio then on to Atlanta, Ga., Dallas, Texas, and finally settling in Marin County (The San Francisco Bay area). Nancy's art talent was first noticed when she was eleven, in the fifth annual exhibition, entitled, "Young America Paints" for the American Museum of Natural History, in New York during 1940. When her children attended college, Nancy went back to entering Fine Art shows by joining the Marin Society of Artists in Ross, Calif. She was elected as Juror and was on the Artists Advisory Council. She received over 100 awards in a variety of juried shows. Her most treasured award was at the Falkirk Cultural Center where she received an award from Henry Hopkins, the director of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, in 1978. She also received the Grumbacher Gold Medallion at the Marin Society of Artists, 60th Annual Show in 1987. The high point of her art career was her solo show at the historical, Lucien Labaudt Art Gallery in San Francisco. Her paintings were hung in the very room where artists such as Matisse and Leger were entertained by Mlle. Labaudt and her husband Lucien. He was famous for his murals at Coit Towers in San Francisco. Nancy received numerous cash and "Best of Show" awards in venues such as the Hall of Flowers, S.F., Crown Zellerbach, S.F., Falkirk Cultural Center, San Rafael and Marin Society of Artists in Ross. After a groundbreaking art trip to China, in 1982, she was invited to have two shows in Hangchow and Nanning by Professor ZhenJack and Yang TaiYang. As to the invitation to exhibit her work in China, she said, "Too much red tape, no pun intended!" Nancy also won awards while painting in Mexico and Hawaii. Her award winning painting, "Tropical Rhythm," was featured on 'ArtScan' on PBS. She also donated many of her works to charity events that raised money for a variety of worthy causes. On June 23, 2009, Nancy and Dick would have been married 58 years. They have been full time residents of Palm Valley Country Club in Palm Desert, Calif., since 1999. A private celebration of Nancy's life will be held. The family suggests, in lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the A.L.S. Association. Her great beauty, enthusiasm, generosity, creativity and fabulous sense of humor will be greatly missed by the many friends and family who loved her deeply. Her artistic legacy will endure for generations.

BiographyStanley Houghton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stanley Houghton
Born      February 22, 1881(1881-02-22)
England
Died      December 10, 1913 (aged 32)
England
Occupation      playwright

(William) Stanley Houghton (22 February 1881–10 December 1913) was an English playwright. He was a prominent member, together with Allan Monkhouse and Harold Brighouse, of a group known as the Manchester School of dramatists. His best known play is Hindle Wakes.
Early life

Stanley Houghton was born at 1 Amy Villas, Doveston Road, Ashton-upon-Mersey, Sale, which was then in Cheshire, the only son of John Hartley Houghton, a cotton merchant, and Lucy Mary née Darbyshire.[1] In 1896, the family moved to 2 Athol Road, Alexandra Park, Manchester, some two miles from the city centre.[2] Houghton was educated at Bowdon College and at Manchester Grammar School. On leaving school in 1897, he started working full time in his father's office and continued to do this until 1912. During this time he was an amateur actor and writer. In 1905–06 he was an unpaid drama critic for the Manchester City News and between 1905 and 1913 he contributed articles, theatrical notices and literary reviews to the Manchester Guardian. He also wrote a number of unpublished plays.[1]
[edit] Career

Houghton's first productions were The Intrigues at the Athenaeum Society, Manchester on 19 October 1906, The Reckoning at the Queen's Theatre, London on 22 July 1907, and The Dear Departed at the Gaiety Theatre, Manchester on 2 November 1908. The last of these plays was the first of many to be produced at the Gaiety Theatre, Britain's first regional repertory theatre. This theatre was owned and managed by Annie Horniman who encouraged local writers. Other plays to receive their premières at the Gaiety were Independent Means on 30 August 1909, The Younger Generation on 21 November 1910, The Master of the House on 26 September 1910, and Fancy-Free on 6 November 1911. For a time, Houghton was the honorary secretary of the Manchester Athenaeum Dramatic Society, and frequently gave his services as a producer.[3]

Houghton's greatest success came with his play Hindle Wakes, which was first performed by Horniman's company at the Aldwych Theatre, London, on 16 June 1912.[1]It had a long run in London, and remains his best known work. Later in the same year The Younger Generation was successfully produced at the Haymarket Theatre, London, with Trust the People the following year at the Garrick Theatre and The Perfect Cure at the Apollo Theatre.[4]

Following the success of Hindle Wakes, Houghton left his office job in 1912 to become a full-time dramatist and moved to London. Here he became part of the city's dramatic and literary culture. The following year he moved to Paris where he started to write a novel entitled Life. During the summer of that year he developed viral pneumonia in Venice and moved back to Manchester where he died in December from meningitis. He was cremated in Manchester crematorium, leaving an estate of £5,488. He was unmarried. In 1915 a memorial tablet was unveiled in the Manchester Reference Library.[1]
[edit] Influences and works

Houghton was influenced strongly by Ibsen, yet he wrote no propagandist plays other than Independent Needs. His plays are set locally in Northern England, but represent universal aspects of human nature. Other writers to have had an influence on him were George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde and St John Hankin.[1] A collection of material relating to Houghton, including unpublished plays and photographs, is held in the University of Salford.[5]

NOTE: This page may contain multiple obituaries for the date you've specified.

BARRINGTON - Anthony Houghton, 67, of Mathewson Road, professor emeritus of physics at Brown University, a teacher and author who was highly acclaimed in his field, died Monday at Miriam Hospital, Providence.

Mr. Houghton became an assistant professor of physics at Brown in 1963, an associate professor of physics in 1967, and professor of physics in 1971, serving as chairman of the department from 1992 to 1998, teaching courses from premed physics, to advanced statistical mechanics, and quantum many-body theory during his 35-year career.

He retired from regular teaching at Brown last July, but remained actively involved in physics research.

Mr. Houghton was a leading researcher in the field of condensed- matter physics, authoring over 90 papers on topics including superconductivity, interacting electrons, disorder, and critical phenomena.

In a famous collaboration with Franz Wegner, he made an important early contribution to renormalization group theory.

As colleague Prof. Leon Cooper, a Nobel laureate in physics, recalls, "Tony made many contributions to physics, and to the Brown University physics department, to which he was enormously devoted. Tony did not seek headlines, and avoided publicity. He was a physicist's physicist whose work was best appreciated by his colleagues for its craftsmanship and great originality."

He was a Fellow of the American Physical Society, a Humboldt Fellow, and had been a visiting professor at many European and American institutions, including Oxford University, the Norges Tekniske Hogskole, Trondheim, Norway, the University of Sussex, the University of Manchester, the University of Heidelberg, Imperial College, London, and the University of California at San Diego.

He held Science Research Council fellowships at the Universities of Manchester, and Sussex, and at Imperial College, and an Alexander von Humboldt Senior Scientist Award at the University of Heidelberg.

He received a bachelor's degree from the University of Birmingham (UK) in 1956, and a doctorate in 1959.

He was the husband of Patricia (Sanchez) Houghton. Born in England, a son of the late George and Florence (Frost) Houghton, he came to Rhode Island in 1963, and had lived in Barrington since 1968.

Besides his wife, he leaves a sister, Pamela Deane, and two nephews, Andrew and Michael Deane, all of Toronto, Canada.1
