Vintage Turkey Tail Mushroom Fungi Carved Relic Crawford Hollidge Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. Measures about 11″ x 15″; weighs 2 pounds 12 ounces. Dated October 1970 and appears to be an outing trip with members of the Institute as both Charles D Hollister and Brian Tucholke both worked at Woods Hole. It is titled “Geronimo Hunting Party” at Harrington Lake which I find is in Gastineau Quebec. Fine condition for what it is with no damage noted – see my photos. Unique item, I guarantee you will never ever find another! Crawford Hollidge was a women’s clothing store of Boston in the 20th century. The business was started by Clarence Crawford Hollidge in 1909, as a dry goods store in Milton, Massachusetts just south of Boston. By 1930 he had transformed the store into a high-end women’s apparel and accessories store. At its height, C. Crawford Hollidge had four locations in wealthy towns in eastern Massachusetts: Boston, Wellesley, Cohasset on the South Shore, and Hyannis, a Cape Cod resort town. The flagship downtown Boston store was located at 141 Tremont Street at Temple Place, directly across Temple Place from rival R. The architects were Fehmer & Page. On February 18, 1967 the building was engulfed by a five alarm fire. [citation needed] It was a total loss and had to be demolished. Crawford Hollidge reopened on Boylston Street, but closed within a few years, and its branch stores also eventually closed. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution announces with great sorrow the death August 23, 1999 of Charles Davis Hollister, Senior Scientist in the Geology and Geophysics Department and Vice President of the Corporation. He died hiking while on vacation with family members in Wyoming. He was 63 years old. Charley’s long relationship with WHOI began in 1967 when he joined the WHOI staff as an assistant scientist in the Geology and Geophysics Department, then headed by K. He was promoted to Associate Scientist in 1971 and to Senior Scientist in 1979. Charley pursued his interest in educating the next generation of oceanographers in 1979 when he was appointed the fourth Dean of Graduate Studies, a position he held for ten years. In 1989, he began a new chapter in his WHOI life with his appointment as Vice President of the Corporation, helping the Institution raise funds, working more closely with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s governing board, and developing new friends and supporters around the country. For geologist Brian Tucholke, creating a new Geologic Map of North America was a 23-year adventure.
