For the past four summers, Richard “Dick” Hankinson’s artistry at the piano has delighted the congregation at Popham Chapel 10:30 a.m. Sunday services. A few hum along as he performs preludes and postludes by composers like Chopin, Liszt and Rubenstein. Hankinson and his wife moved to Maine in 1985, after visiting with Phippsburg resident Ruth Deck for many summers. He formerly played in the dining room and lounge at the United Nations Plaza Hotel in New York City for 10 years, and before that, at the Drake Hotel, which was patronized by film stars from America and England. He also taught music for 28 years at St. David’s, a private boys’ school in Manhattan, and from 1952 to 1957 was accompanist for the Metropolitan Opera tenor and concert singer James Melton. The Popham Chapel, built in 1896 as “a church for all people,” is located in the village of Popham in Phippsburg.
