Kenneth Richardson, E'42, of Asheville, North Carolina, has participated in the construction of ninety-five homes in his home state on behalf of Habitat for Humanity. For the last eight years, he and his wife, Jan, have returned to campus to attend Northeastern Night at the Pops and meet recipients of the engineering scholarship they established in 1996.

George Georgerian, BA'47, of Haverhill, Massachusetts, writes, "My worldwide experiences as an educator/human-resources training and development specialist both here and abroad reinforced the importance and significance of co-op. My global odyssey began after graduation in 1947, when Dean White called me to his office and indicated there was an opening for a business teacher. After seven years as a teacher, guidance counselor, and track coach, I decided to explore other avenues. A colleague suggested overseas employment with private companies. As a result, my foreign service began with oil and gas projects in Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Indonesia, followed by mining operations in the Republic of Guinea, in Africa."
