’59 Friends and Memories

WadsWinterQuarter

While reading the August 12 edition, there was a picture of Wadsworth Hall 1958 that led me to check my Keweenawan yearbook. Upon opening the book, out fluttered this photo. Alas, my memory failed me and I couldn’t remember all the names; personalities and stories yes, but names no. I’ll always remember Tony Vacca, who graciously hosted me, the kid from Panama, for my first white Christmas, as I couldn’t go home for the holidays and Wadsworth was closed for the break. Emails from Tony and help from Ben Larson, of Michigan Tech’s Office of Advancement, led to us naming all but one.

We are L to R: Frank Townsend, Don Karpinen, Jerry Seeley, Rod Nelson, Stuart Bowman, and Tony Vacca. Unidentified is the guy seated front in the chair. Photo is second floor West Wadsworth Hall circa winter quarter 1959. Great memories and great friends!
