Letters to the Editor

From the mayor's office
I was pleased to receive the Summer 2002 edition of UConn Traditions, in which my photograph appears on the cover. I don't know if you have information regarding the other individuals in the photograph, but I certainly would appreciate learning the identity of the other individuals.

George A. Spadoro '70 (CLAS)
Mayor, Edison, N.J.

Editor's note: The following letter may shed some light on Mayor Spadoro's request.


That's me!
Did anyone there wonder who those kids were with the '72 beanies on the cover of the Summer 2002 UConn Traditions?

Summer 2002 Issue

I think I can shed some light on the subject. I don't remember the promo picture, and I have no idea who the girl is, but the guy on the left is George Spadoro '70 (CLAS), who was Associated Student Government vice-president. I know he went on to become mayor of Edison, N.J.

The handsome one on the right is Tim Jerman '70 (CLAS), president of the student government. I know this because I am he, although I have aged a bit.

I moved to Vermont after college for a ski weekend, and I'm still here.

Thanks for the memories!

Tim Jerman '70 (CLAS)
Essex Junction, Vt.



Ukelele memories recalled
While perusing the Fall/ Winter 2002 edition of UConn Traditions, I noticed the small photo on page 40 of a group of four co-eds. Something looked familiar, so I got out the magnifying glass to take a good look.

Ah ha, the gal with the ukulele is my wife, Gail Kramer Mason '53 (BUS), and the others are Phi Mu sorority sisters of hers, all I believe the class of '53. We can recognize the gal on the left as Ruth Hansen Childs '53 (CLAS), now deceased, and the gal on the far right as Cindy Rollins Munsey '54 (SFS). The uke may have been mine!
