As you all know, the Alumni Fund Campaign for this year is well under way. CoggyBroer and his assistants have done a grand job of organizing and you can help them greatly by getting your contribution in early. We were proud to note that our Class Agent, Coggy, was quoted in an early issue of the Class Agents' Bulletin from Hanover. During the Fund Campaign Joe Russakoff has agreed to act as editor of The Speak-Easy. We know Joe will do a grand job with his prolific pen.
Speaking of that prolific pen, Joe had an excellent article in the February issue of TheReporter of Direct Mail Advertising, entitled
"How All of Us Can Help Small Businesses to Advertise."
