Charles T.

Donald Mahan, a retired Harford County home builder and business owner, died of cancer April 26 at Coast Hospice in Stewart, Fla. The former Hebbville resident was 80. Born in Baltimore and raised on St. Paul Street in Charles Village, he was a 1943 graduate of McDonogh School. Family members said he played varsity lacrosse and rode horses in the school's equestrian program. During World War II, he served in the Army Air Forces in a unit that spotted downed fliers. Mr. Mahan once observed, and his crew rescued, a downed flier who was bobbing in moonlit waves in the Atlantic Ocean.

It has taken three years, a stretch of time when their career arcs crisscrossed, when their successes and failures were dissected like frogs in a high school biology class, when they seemed to share little except the same swing coach. Such is the way things have gone for Hunter Mahan and Tiger Woods since the final round of the 2009 AT&T National. The last time the tournament was held here at Congressional Country Club, Woods appeared invincible, recovered from a serious knee injury and in the midst of another dominating season.

Catherine Mahan founded a landscape architecture firm in 1983 on the first floor of a Mount Vernon rowhouse. She had four employees and scraped by at first doing jobs for local architects and designing backyards for homeowners. When she retired from Mahan Rykiel Associates this year, the Baltimore-based firm had 42 employees, an office in Hong Kong and a long list of completed projects in the United States, Portugal, Japan and Mexico. Under Mahan's guidance, the firm has handled many local projects as well: It designed rooftop gardens for Harbor East's high-rise residences and for Mercy Medical Center, created a backdrop for the infinity pool deck at the new Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore, redesigned Center Plaza in downtown's office district, landscaped the light rail line and created the plazas at Oriole Park at Camden Yards . The firm has worked out of the former Stieff Silver building in Hampden since 2001.

By now, Hunter Mahan surely has realized the sun comes up again. Day after day after day. And with each day that passes, the sting of being the man from whom Europe figuratively wrested the Ryder Cup in all likelihood eases a bit. It hit pretty hard in the immediate aftermath at Celtic Manor, where Mahan struggled more than once to get words out as he discussed the pressure that went with having the Cup tilt on the final match's result....

For the next two weekends, midshipmen will display teamwork and discipline along with performance artistry when they present Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods, a fully staged, costumed and choreographed production with a live pit orchestra, in the annual Naval Academy Winter Musical. The cast will venture into the challenging realm of the 1987 musical that brought Sondheim a Tony award for his score and a Tony to James Lapine for his book. Into the Woods brings adult dimensions to familiar fairy tale characters who deal with the threatening environment they've helped to create.
