Philip McCabe, LA'63, and Louis Carmisciano, BA'63, and their wives. "It
was purely by chance," Berezin writes. "We soon found out that
Phil and I also graduated from the same high school, Boston English."
The Northeastern intersections continued on the Berezins' return flight

Turkey, who was a grad student," Berezin says. "Guess where?
It's a small world. NU is reaching all corners of the universe."
Leon Shapiro, P'52, of Phoenix, Arizona, writes, "I retired
in 1995 after forty-three years as a pharmacist. I have been married for
fifty years. Have four children, four grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
Still enjoy traveling the country and Canada."

in Pasadena, California, and has been a consultant to camera manufacturers
for more than twenty-
