books as at Boe- CLAREMONT, CALIF. Norma Lorre Goodrich, a prolific author and former professor who unearthed what she called the true story behind the legend of King Arthur, died Sept. 19, her longtime assistant told the Los Angeles Times. She was 89. Goodrich died of natural causes at her home in Claremont, Darin Stewart told the newspaper.

The author spent many years researching books on King Arthur, Merlin, Guinevere and the Holy Grail, traveling to Scotland with John Hereford Howard, following routes in ancient maps, and studying clues gathered from artifacts and writings. Goodrich determined that King Arthur was a real person who once lived in Scotland, not a mythical hero in southwestern England or Wales as others had thought, while Guinevere was a Pictish queen and Lancelot a Scottish king. Goodrich graduated from the University of Vermont in 1938 with a bachelor's degree. She later earned doctoral degrees in French and Roman philology from Columbia University. In 1964, Goodrich married Howard and began teaching French and comparative literature at the University of Southern California.

She became dean of the faculty at Scripps College in Claremont seven years later. John W. Peterson, 84, wrote gospel hymns SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. John W. Peterson, who wrote more than 1,000 gospel hymns in a musical career that began before World War IL, died Wednesday.

He was 84. Peterson died of cancer at his home in Scottsdale, said Derek Beach, a funeral director with Messinger Indian School Mortuary in Scottsdale. Peterson's compositions included "It Took a Miracle," "Over the Sunset Mountains," "So I Send You," and "Surely Goodness and Mercy." Peterson headed his own music publishing businesses in Scottsdale since moving to Arizona in the 1970s. Earlier, he served for more than 10 years as president of Singspiration, a sacred-music publishing company in Grand Rapids, Mich. Born Nov.

1, 1921, in Lindsborg, Peterson served as an Army Air Forces transport pilot in the war, flying a route between India and China over the Himalayas known as "The Hump." After leaving the service, he graduated from the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago and moved to Montrose, for a job as music director for Singspiration. He later led the organization before moving to Scottsdale and co-founding Good Life Productions and later his own John W. Peterson Music Co. He was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 1986. Clayton Scott, 101, Boeing founder's pilot SEATTLE Clayton Scott, who served as Bill Boeing's personal pilot and later become a top Boeing Co.

test pilot, died Thursday. He was 101. Scott's death was confirmed by Eden Hopkins, a spokeswoman for The Museum of Flight. Scott was born July 15, 1905, in Coudersport, and later moved to the Pacific Northwest. An early aviation buff, Scott owned his own airplane ing Field, after an emergency forced him to touch down on the then-uncompleted airfield.

After the emergency was resolved, he made the first takeoff. In the 1930s, Scott had a chance encounter with Bill Boeing, founder of Boeing when Scott was refueling his airplane at a marina in Alert Bay, British Columbia, where Boeing was refueling his yacht. Boeing hired Scott to be his personal pilot. Scott also served as chief production test pilot for Boeing's company from 1940 to 1966, flying both military and commercial planes. Boeing is now based in Chicago.

The municipal airfield in Renton, south of Seattle, was renamed Clayton Scott Field last year, to celebrate Scott's 100th birthday.
