Joe Grisola ’68, Beaver Falls, Pa., Ralph DeJesus, Lorain, Ohio, and Don Humphrey ’68, Concord, Ohio, were sophomore roommates on the third floor of Lake Hall in 1965-66. They reunited on the Kent Campus in August, after Grisola looked his friends up on the Internet. It was the first time back on campus for Grisola and DeJesus since the sixties, and they were amazed at the changes. The trio plan to keep in touch!
