As a salesman for a liquor distributor, Mr Donald A. Hunter did a good job in '91 and would have done as well, or better, in '99, except for changes in Umass policy and personal matters. He did a great job for the '79 reuniion.

Rich would be willing to do something.

The difficult work is dealing with Alumni relations, updating the address list and the mailings. Alumni Relations does things their way, so there has to be someone to stay on their case. Bob Brick did that in '91 and '99; and various other people watched over various aspects.

In '91 I set up the base list and coded as many as I could on the Alumni Relations database. In '99 I updated that and produced the mailing labels, since we had learned in '91 that they couldn't produce a full set of labels.

The hard part is finding a few people who are willing to do something and actually get it done.
