Hal McLane

NEW CANAAN, Conn. - Hal McLane, 61, of New Canaan and formerly of Portsmouth, died Jan. 13, 2001, at Stamford Hospital, Stamford, Conn., following surgery and treatment for kidney cancer. He was the son of Priscilla Palfrey McLane and the late Howard E. McLane of Portsmouth.

He was married to Jane Morse McLane.

He lived in New Canaan since 1966 and joined the staff of the science department at Saxe Junior High School. For the last three years, they have also spent many weekends at their home at Black Point in Niantic, Conn.

He was a meber of St. Andrew's Lodge F& AM in Portsmouth, and as a teen-ager, he was active in DeMolay. He was a member of the North Congregational Church in Portsmouth, where he often participated in youth activities and later taught Sunday school. In Portsmouth, as a youth, he was active in area sports. He holds the honor of throwing the first pitchpitching the first baseball at the opening of the Portsmouth Little League in 1950.

Throughout his life, he was an avid sailer, racing and cruising out of the Kittery Point Yacht Club and Portsmouth harbor, as well as the Darien and Norwalk area. More recently, he continued his love of the water, cruising and fishing in the New London and Old Saybrook area.

He was a graduate of Portsmouth High School in 1957 where he played both basketball and baseball. He graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 1961, where he played on the UNH baseball team. Prior to his coming to New Canaan, he had been a teacher in the science department at Portsmouth Junior High School, a principal at Barrington, and a science teacher at Nathan Hale Junior High School in Norwalk, Conn.

While in the New Canaan shool system, he headed the science department at Saxe, the Family Life and Drug Education for all of New Canaan, and held leadership roles in state and local educational associations in a variety of areas. He took early retirement in 1989 to pursue a full-time career in antiques and show management in the greater New England area.

His energies were directed in many areas but always the major thrust has been young people. He worked as head of public relations for the Source Library in Darien. For several years, he co-directed the New Canaan City-Country Vacation Program, based at New Canaan Country School, which later became the beginning of the Horizons Program.

He served as an officer and president of the Connecticut Dog Federation, and was a very active member of Oxridge Kennel Club. He headed up the board of Genesis, a self-help, anti-drug program, located where the ABC House is in New Canaan. For many years, he had been a driving force on behalf of the young people as well as the seniors in New Canaan. Most recently, he spent four terms as a member of the New Canaan's Park and Recreation Commission, where he worked very hard to see the Lapham Center come to being. He also eagerly donated the funds to provide the first defibrulator to the New Canaan Police Department.

For the past 28 years, he developed his love for antiques and managed a number of antique shows for the Kiwanis Clubs in New Canaan and Greenwich, as well as shows in Norwalk, Darien and other towns in Connecticut. At the same time, he was active as an exhibitor and lecturer throughout the Northeast and Middle Atlantic states in the field of Georgian and American silver, Chinese export porcelain, as well as fine period furniture. For eight years, he had an antiques shop on the Post Road in Darien. However, he learned that sitting in an antiques shop until customers came in was not his style and he much preferred the antiques show atmosphere.

Besides his wife, survivors include his son, Marc Rawlins Cardwell; and grandson, Marc Alexander Cardwell, of Vienna, Va.
