Craig Lazenby ’71 writes: “One day at the end of August, I was focused on fixing the shower light and exhaust problem in the 2nd floor city-side restroom.  I was up the step ladder with my head above the suspended ceiling. In the hallway, I heard what seemed like a house tour, with someone saying, ‘Well, that wasn’t here when I was. Wait - let me look in here. Toilet stalls! We didn’t have those when I was here, either!’

“I climbed down the ladder, poked my head out the door to hear the conversation turn to the fire escape, and heard ‘and that wasn’t here either’. I asked, ‘Who are you?’  So, it turns out to be my big brother, Ivan Beggs! He was passing through town, and just stopped in. We had a brief chat, and then I returned to work and he continued on the house tour. He indicated that he would be again passing through town in a few days and would like to meet up with any other local old-timers. Ivan contacted Al Berg and Eric Durling. We met at the house on September 1st and then wandered to the Boynton for a delightful reunion. Ivan, Al and Eric are all members of the class of ‘68, and I believe (in Sigma Pi, a fellowship of ....) that the next WPI reunion weekend in June will focus on the class of ’68 as well as the other classes ending in 8 & 3. And so I think we should plan to get together again at that time - as well as the rest of the class of ’68.”
