1950s
George Terrell, LA’51, of Foxboro, Massachusetts, was the subject of a feature story in the Attleboro (Massachusetts) Sun Chronicle. The story noted how Terrell, as a twenty-year-old Marine returning from World War II, found nine plays by Eugene O’Neill to read on the thirty-day transport back across the Pacific Ocean. At Northeastern, Terrell received degrees in mathematics and physics, and—inspired by O’Neill—minored in English. His career was in technological and scientific fields, but he also has penned five plays. At age 60, he entered a writing program. Terrell has since written three novels, which are available at <www.universe.com>.
Robert E. Simon, LC’53, BA’57, of Centerville, Massachusetts, writes that he “would like to receive e-mail at <robdon831128@msn.com> from fellow business and engineering graduates. I live on Cape Cod and have been active in civil engineering design for many years. Retired after forty years in the business, then volunteered teaching math and science in the local middle school. Wow, what an experience, but loved it.”
At the twelfth annual World Association for Cooperative Education Conference in July at Suranaree University of Technology in Thailand, John O. Francis Sr., MBA’55, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, presented a paper on using cooperative education in middle and high schools to counteract workforce deficiencies in developing countries and communities.
Anthony Napolitano, LA’55, of Somerville, Massachusetts, volunteers as an interpreter for the Human Body Connection at Boston’s Museum of Science. He is retired from the United States Postal Service.
