Francis D. Doherty, BA'55, of Medford, Massachusetts, writes, "I think many students studying under the GI Bill will remember something that happened in the summer of 1951. We had enrolled at Northeastern for the fall semester but were planning to take the summer off from studies. However, the government had other plans. A ruling came out: For the GI eligibility to continue, students had to be attending classes as of July 25. To cover this requirement, NU placed about 150 students in a course on psychology starting in early July. I was a student in a class taught by Stephen Dean. He conducted an interesting course and made the summer go fast. About twenty years later, I was seated at the same table with Mr. Dean at a dinner, and we reminisced about the class. I was grateful to him and to NU for jump-starting me toward my undergraduate degree."

Thomas A. Ross, BA'58, of Palm Harbor, Florida, reports that he was a sales representative for International Playtex until he retired in 1994. He remarried thirty-one years ago, and has four children, three stepchildren, and twenty-two grandchildren. Ross, who retired to Florida from Maine, says he'd like to hear from his fraternity brothers at Gamma Phi Kappa.
