Helen F. Evans, 1940
B.A., Denison University
B.A., Yale University
Citation awarded June, 1990
Helen Evans represents the personification of the many faces of the liberal arts. She is currently the owner and manager of a New Hampshire tree farm which has won numerous state and regional awards. She also teaches independent living skills to mentally-retarded adults.
Helen is also a published historian with three additional works on New Hampshire genealogy in progress. She is a quilter and teacher of quilting.
Perhaps she would identify herself mainly as an actress. Active in the theatre at Denison, she has toured with a national company, spent 12 years with the conservatory players, acted with several summer stock companies, and was business manager of Theatre-by-the-Sea in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Currently she is presenting her one-woman show, “Yankees Yesterday.”
Helen also gives her time to the New Hampshire Historical Society and is curator of the Historical Society in Bedford, New Hampshire.
