Spence spent four summers with his grandfather at Woodwil, starting in 1930 when he was 11, an experience that he wrote about in A Mountain View, published posthumously in 2002. Spence has a stone in the tiny cemetery near Church of the Ascension in Saranac Inn; two matching stones nearby list Eleanor K. Spence (1921 - 2003) and Colin Sewell Spence (1969 - 1995).
