First CNC Alumni Newsletter (10/29/71)

Wayne Barry (Class of 1971) found this document, apparently the first Alumni Association Newsletter, dated Oct. 29, 1971. Professor Emeritus L.B. (Barry) Wood, Jr. verifies that the Alumni group began at this time. He was involved in getting it started.

This document will be put into the 1961-71 (First Decade) Library Display Cabinet at CNU in late August/early September, 2011.
