"My chief interests," Goodwin says, "are the management of my forest tract of 1,700 acres in the Town of Hampton, Windham County, Conn. From a small beginning this has grown and developed since 1914. It has been interesting to watch trees planted twenty or thirty years ago grow to merchantable size which now can be cut and from which there is an appreciable income. In 1951 I compiled and wrote an illustrated history of its development, entitled Pine Acres Forest, from 1914 to 1952. I also own a tract of 1,000 acres in Moore County, near Pinehurst, N.C. On account of the fast growth of Southern pines, this has been a very successful business enterprise since 1930.

After serving for some years as a director of the Connecticut Forest and Park Association, Goodwin is now president of the organization. He is a member of the committee of the Hartford Y.M.C.A. camps property committee, a trustee of Trinity College and the Wadsworth Atheneum Art Museum, and a member of the Chapter of Christ Church Cathedral. He is also serving as vice-president of the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, is a senior fellow of the Society of American Foresters, and belongs to the Massachusetts and North Carolina Forestry associations, the Connecticut Historical Society, the Connecticut Antiquarian and Landmarks Society, and the New York Yale Club.

His first wife, Dorothy Wendell Davis, died in December, 1945, and in November, 1946, he was married in New York City to Genevieve Hancock Harlow.
