Charles D. Mason, E’54, of Nokomis, Florida, writes to correct a listing in the September issue’s Alumni Deaths section. “You will be pleased to know that the report of my death was greatly exaggerated—in fact, I am quite well. Will you please print a retraction to forestall the likelihood of memorial services, candlelight vigils, and much sobbing and crying by my classmates? As proof of my existence, check the roster of attendees at the fiftieth-year reunion activities last June.” Charles’s wife, Elsie, E’53, attended the reunion as well.

Don Meade, E’56, of Redondo Beach, California, writes, “Last year, I celebrated the university’s Homecoming with many of my siblings and children. This summer, Gladys and I celebrated our fiftieth wedding anniversary with our children and grandchildren in Palm Springs at a weeklong party amid the pools and the desert landscape. Since Gladys has shared all the years from NU days until now, she, too, looks forward to the fiftieth reunion in a few years.”

Theodore Ulman, E’58, ME’64, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, writes he’s “alive and well in the Midwest. Retired after a lengthy career in industrial engineering consulting. My second wife, Pat, and I have seven children and four grandkids between the two of us.” Ulman adds that he misses his engineering classmates.
