Kenneth Sturtz, BA ’67, Morristown, N.J., wrote: “My Amazon Kindle ebook The Civil War Diary of John James Hancock recounts Hancock’s enlistment in the Union army and fighting with Sherman’s army in the Battle of Atlanta and the March to the Sea. For a southern perspective on the Civil War, read my e-book The Civil War Journal of William H. Youel — he was a member of the Liberty Hall Volunteers who fought with the Stonewall Brigade from First Bull Run until his death fighting Grant’s army at the Siege of Petersburg.”

Lynn (Gelgisser) Livingston, BS ’68, MEd ’75, Randolph, N.J., wrote: “The Epsilon Xi chapter of Alpha Epsilon Phi (AEPhi) sorority held a reunion in Kent on August 12–14, 2016. Alumni from the classes of 1968–1972 came from all over the United States. We enjoyed a bus tour of campus, a visit to our old sorority house, a guided tour of the May 4th memorial, a luncheon at the alumni center and a tour of the Kent State University Museum. Kent State has aged well, and we’re proud to be alumni.”
