Foods Lab Renamed in Honor of Alumna

The Framingham State College Board of Trustees unanimously approved the renaming of the Experimental Foods Lab in Hemenway Hall to “The Dr. Constance B. Jordan Experimental Foods Lab” on May 25.

Dr. Constance Jordan, professor emerita and trustee of the College, received her B.S. from Framingham State College in 1941, her M.P.H. from Harvard School of Public Health in 1948 and her Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1954.  During her career at Framingham State College, which spanned more than 25 years, she served as professor, department chair and dean.  Her strong commitment to Consumer Sciences, along with her many contributions to the College and the field of nutrition, have brought recognition and distinction to her profession and to her College.  This past year she established the Constance B. Jordan Scholarship.

The following is the citation that was presented to Dr. Jordan when she received an Honorary Degree (Doctor of Science) in 1987: “Alumna, professor, administrator, and friend.  A dedicated humanitarian whose high professional standards motivate us all.  Her many contributions to Framingham State College will long endure.”

Alumnus Aims for Higher Ground  in Debut Chapbook of Poems

 A keen observer of the small and significant issues facing our world and our own cities, poet Enzo Surin '00 recently had his chapbook collection of poetry published by Finishing Line Press.

Higher Ground is a small, yet powerful, collection of poetry that speaks on many levels of racial, social, economical and spiritual struggle, from the streets of the inner city to the halls of higher education. Written just months before the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, Higher Ground seeks to uplift the spirit and liberate the heart, crafted in the rich traditions of jazz, blues and hip-hop.

University of Oregon associate professor and poet Dorianne Laux says, “Enzo Surin writes, ‘I guess I'll keep on writing until my lines can stop a bullet,’ and we're grateful for his commitment, for his willingness...these are bold, necessary poems.”

Author and poet J.D. Scrimgeour says, “James Baldwin tells us that love is difficult. Surin testifies to that, and, like Baldwin, he also testifies to love’s necessity. This is poetry that matters.”

Surin is a literacy advocate and is currently employed as a library assistant at Bunker Hill Community College in Charlestown, Mass. He also volunteers as editor of Joy of Writing, a literary journal for Literacy Volunteers of Charlottesville/Albemarle. His poetry is forthcoming and has appeared in The Caribbean Writer, Soundings East, Pine Island Journal of New England Poetry, Red River Review, Tight, and other literary journals. He has participated in poetry readings in New York, New Jersey, Chicago and Massachusetts. He lives in Boston, where he looks to continue his involvement with literacy efforts in the inner city.

Independent Association of Framingham State Alumni

2006 Annual Meeting

More than 40 members of the Independent Association of Framingham State Alumni gathered on June 3, 2006, at Alumni House for the Association’s annual meeting.  They hailed from Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and California.  IAFSA President Kathleen Cotter ’78 welcomed the audience and introduced each speaker.

 

Treasurer Lecia Shronce ’03 detailed the balance in each of the funds held by the Association. Virginia Baldi Ferguson ’59, Chair of the Amelia Davis Fund, asked for volunteers to write notes of cheer to elder or shut-in alumni. She also is looking for the names of any alumni who are in need of financial assistance from the Fund. Gloria Aspesi ’57, Chair of the Ellen Hyde Loan Fund, reported on the committee’s activity and asked for help in letting FSC students know of the availability of interest-free loans. Marilyn Booth Manzella ’69, Executive Administrator, reviewed the activities of the office during the past year and appealed for candidates to serve on the Executive Board, volunteers to assist with office work and committee members.  The reports were followed by a number of questions from the audience and a lively discussion.  The Executive Board was grateful to hear the views of the members of the Association who encouraged the Board to continue on its current path of service. A reception hosted by the IAFSA Executive Board followed.

 

 

 

                                                         

 Reunion 2006

             

Reunion Weekend 2006

 

Despite periodic torrential downpours, the spirit of more than 300 alumni and friends could not be dampened during Reunion Weekend, June 3 and 4, 2006. Framingham State College graduates came “back to the hill” from California, Oregon, Michigan, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, and of course, Massachusetts. They spanned eight decades, with representatives from 1936 to 2005, and celebrated at more than a dozen events, including luncheons, dinners, a cocktail reception, a memorial service, campus tours and an awards ceremony.

Mildred Maynard Patt '36, along with members of the Classes of 1941, 1946 and 1951 enjoyed a luncheon hosted by Interim College President Philip M. Dooher. Linsley Hall housed more than 50 alumni, including Helen "Tenney" Gardner Miller '46, who drove solo from Michigan for the Big Weekend. Those brave enough to relive their College days experienced the joys of roommates and the tribulations of community washrooms. And overnight guests reportedly thoroughly enjoyed themselves during late night sessions of reminiscing about the "best years" of their lives.


Meanwhile, the Class of 1956 turned out in record numbers, with 47 percent of classmates celebrating on campus. The 1956 Reunion Committee planned a moving memorial service, officiated by Sister Harriet Cutting, for departed classmates. After the service, the Class joined Dr. Dooher for a private dinner. At the dinner, members of the Class received a Memory Book that captured their yesteryears at Framingham State College. Margaret Callahan received a special surprise - she won a fabulously stylish red hat keeping with the Class's plan to wear such hats during the Procession of the Classes the next morning. A rousing round of stories of the good old days told by members of the Class followed, with Nancy Tracy Fitzgerald setting the tone

for lots of laughter.



One brave group of 1981ers decked out in rain gear decided to take a tour of the beautifully transformed, albeit a bit soggy, campus. They enjoyed checking out their former living quarters in O'Conner Hall before putting on their dinner attire and joining some of the younger classes for a delightful dinner and dancing.

The rain continued Sunday morning, but that didn't scare off alumni representing the Classes of 1936 - 2001 who participated in the annual alumni processional. They marched from Crocker Grove to the newly renovated College Center Forum for the General Assembly and Alumni Achievement Awards Ceremony. Keeping with tradition, 12 celebrating classes presented Dr. Dooher with gifts to the College. After the presentation of Class Gifts, Professor Edward Melegian performed a nostalgic tribute to the Celebrating Classes. Incoming Alumni Association President Margaret Brodeur Guardiani '77 presided over the awards program in which Mary Paula Casey Baumann '61, Andrea M. Hallion G'75, Pamela S. Hunt '87, M. Joan Dewire McKenna '56, Kimberlee Sirois Pita '90 and Richard S. Willis '74 G'78 were honored as Distinguished Alumni. Faculty from the honorees' respective departments presented the awards, adding their touching comments about each of the outstanding alumni.

                                                                                                                                   

 

Then it was off to lunch.  Alumni had the opportunity to

congratulate the honorees and mingle with old friends before

their journeys home.  As the weekend came to an end, there

were countless vows to spread the word to missing classmates

about the importance of returning to the beloved hilltop College,

and there were more than a few vows to keep in touch and not

wait to get together until the next Reunion to Reconnect, Reunite

and Reminisce.

Perspectives

 

Regarding Reunion 2006...

"I just wanted to e-mail you to say thanks to you and all the staff for the hard work you put into making the 2006 Reunion a special day for all. This is the first time I have attended a Reunion and it was my 20th, which I was able to share with my mother (Anne Murphy Buonopane), who celebrated her 50th, and my sister (Theresa Buonopane Fontes), who celebrated her 15th. We had a great time, and the food at the luncheon was delicious. I'm sure with the inclement weather it was difficult to keep things organized, but you all did a great job. I really admired how the 50th Reunion class had their graduation picture on a pin, and one woman even brought her yearbook from 1956. I also loved the red hats..."

Sincerely,
Diane Buonopane Bernazzani '86

**********

"As a member of the Class of '46, I want to thank you for the warmth and welcome we found at the College last Saturday [June 3]. The lunch was excellent, the president's greeting heartfelt, the van an unexpected and necessary joy. Nina Ricci (I can't believe that name; I wear her often) and President Dooher were incomparable. I almost felt as if I had never left, though our campus was so very, very different, and charming, too. My Class had 77 members; 8 of us came, one driving solo from Michigan; 23 are dead, and perhaps the weather kept a few safe by their own firesides. For some reason, I knew I would appear if I had to walk! It was a Reunion to Remember.

Sincerely,
Cam Hilbert '46

**********

Mary "Esther" Brady Dehler '46 sends her regards to the Class. She says she regrets she could not attend Reunion, as Framingham State College and her classmates have been so good to her. She would appreciate anyone who would like to tell her how Reunion Weekend was!

**********

Dear Framingham grads, especially 41ers,

Having moved full time to Florida I’m sure has added many years to our lives. We do things slowly now but do get around locally. Our last trip north was two years ago to our oldest daughter’s retirement party from teaching computer science on Martha’s Vineyard. We are now in our mid-80s. My then-boyfriend (now husband for 65 years) attended my Framingham graduation. Best wishes to my classmates and all other Framingham grads. Life has been enriched because of my Framingham training.

Sincerely,
Helen Pauline Milne Graves '41

**********

Wish my classmates the best!
Ruth O'Malley White '36
