Capt. George Jefferson Price, a retired Pan American World Airways pilot, adventurer and raconteur, packed a lot of living into a life that ended at 96 earlier this month, when he died at a Coral Gables, Fla., nursing home. Price's professional ties to Baltimore were through Pan Am, which he joined in 1942 aboard flying boats and later as a first officer aboard the famed M-130, better known to travelers as the China Clipper, that was built at the Glenn L. Martin Co. plant in Middle River.

BOZMAN -- P.T. Hambleton could probably make this run blindfolded, and at 4:30 in the morning, he might as well. Gliding through pitch darkness aboard his boat, the Lexi Maye, he is accompanied by the low gurgle of the vessel's diesel engine. Only the barest of navigational running lights mark the bow and stern. Electronic blinks of the Global Positioning System, nautical radar and depth finder pinpoint Hambleton's precise position - which he knows by heart - among the narrow channels and sandy shoals of Broad Creek, where four generations of his family have earned their living as Maryland watermen.

J. Hambleton "Ham" Palmer, a retired consulting engineer who played a key role in the fair running of yacht races across the Chesapeake Bay, died of kidney failure Thursday at Ginger Cove retirement community in Annapolis. He was 90. Yachting was Mr. Palmer's lifelong love. Besides sailing in his 25-foot yacht Half Hitch, he also measured boats for races, handicapped the vessels and judged their competitions for various local boating groups and the U.S. Sailing Association. Mr. Palmer, who had lived in Pasadena and Severna Park, helped introduce racing rules to sailing competitions on the Chesapeake Bay. "He was instrumental in guiding sailboat racing in Maryland," said William D. Paul, who founded the Magothy River Sailing Association with Mr. Palmer in 1974 and later followed him as president of the Chesapeake Bay Yacht Racing Association.

Although he was a lifelong Baltimorean, T. Edward Hambleton transformed theater in New York and beyond. The pioneering producer - who helped found the off-Broadway movement in this country and whose groundbreaking theater helped launch the careers of director Harold Prince, playwright Wendy Wasserstein and actor Meryl Streep - died Saturday at age 94. "It would be hard to find somebody who has contributed more to the American theater and was so modest...

Audiences at Center Stage's production of Bertolt Brecht's "Galileo" will find something different in the program. For the first time, the theater is dedicating a production to an individual.That individual is Baltimorean T. Edward Hambleton, who produced the first American production of "Galileo" in 1947. The production starred Charles Laughton, who was also responsible for the English language version -- the one Center Stage is using."I don't think people have any idea of how large his career has been in the American theater," Center Stage artistic director Irene Lewis says of Hambleton, 85, who is regarded as a pioneer of off-Broadway theater.

Baltimore native T. Edward Hambleton, who will be honored with a lifetime achievement award at the Tony Awards ceremony in New York next month, could be described as one of the first off-Broadway impresarios. But he's hardly the stereotyped tough-talking, cigar chomping theatrical producer. A soft-spoken, unassuming gentleman, Hambleton, 89, learned of the award when he received a call Friday from Roy A. Somlyo, president of the American Theatre Wing, which co-administers the awards. "It was certainly a pleasure being noted after all these many years.

CONGRATULATIONS to T. Edward Hambleton of Timonium on receiving a Tony for lifetime achievement. His contributions to American theater are immense and long deserving of recognition. The award from the American Theater Wing and League of American Theaters and Producers last Sunday was for the cutting edge of the Phoenix Theater, which Mr. Hambleton co-founded in 1953 and ran until it closed in 1982. This helped establish theater as serious art and off-Broadway as serious theater. It nurtured the careers of many of the foremost actors, directors and playwrights of the past half-century.

Nancy Hambleton turns 79 in a few weeks. She wants to improve her tennis game. A 5-foot-4, right-handed player, Hambleton relies more on precision than power and plays about four times a week, mostly in doubles matches. "They say it's the sport of a lifetime," Hambleton said. "I like the exercise, and it keeps you trim. It's good socially, and I've met a lot of people through tennis." She could be the model athlete for Welcome Back to Tennis, an initiative by the United State Tennis Association Senior Tennis Leagues in Anne Arundel County and the International Council on Active Aging.
