Lyme Local

Brian and Jim in the New Hampshire village of Lyme


A favorite plot line in ‘Auntie Mame’ became an inside joke about naming the Lyme condo

The characters Claude and Doris Upson and their daughter Gloria summered in an Adirondacks home named “Upson Pines.” For our Louisville apartment, we jokingly adopted the same name the Upsons gave their suburban Connecticut home: “Upson Downs.”

Here’s a video montage of Gloria’s outrageous behavior that includes her infamous account of playing ping-pong with her friend Bunny Bixler.
