PAUL LANDINO '76
WITH A BLAST FROM
THE PAST
"It never gets old looking at old pictures.
In fact, it seems the older you get, the more
interesting and stimulating they become.
Let's all share, Brothers strong! Here is a pic
of JD Cattel '69 and me after meeting up
for dinner in St. Petersburg in September
2023. I think we both have aged well after
being business owners."
JD CAT TEL '69 SHARES
A CHILDHOOD STORY
"On December 2, 1962, 62 years ago, I
appeared on Community Auditions on
Channel 4 WBZ TV Boston. Gene Jones
was the host and Dave Maynard was doing
commercials and announcing.
ere were two of us, Peter Manera, a
guitarist, and me. We played a song called
"Rawhide" (e Ventures version) with a
drum break in it. It was live. Not taped.
(Oddly, Peter Manera's father was also a
dentist.)
To get on the show, we came second in a
Talent Show with 24 other acts. To win
back then, it required 3,000 postcards (more
or less, as we found out later). Most of the
winners bought and handed out the cards to
anyone who was breathing to mail in. I had
just turned 15 five days earlier.
So there you have it! A blast from the past."
ALUMNI HAVE
LUNCH WITH
NEW WPI PRESIDENT
Brothers Peter "Sporty" Stanley '70, M.F.
"Sully" Sullivan '70, and Paul "Smiley"
Landino '76 enjoyed a small intimate lunch
with WPI's new president, Grace Wang, in
Coconut Creek, Florida. It was enlightening
and engaging for all. We all left impressed
with Dr Wang's skills and outlook for WPI's
future. ough not Greek herself, she is very
pro Greek and believes in the strong values
that both fraternities and sororities bring to
campus. We are in good hands, Brothers!
Dave Marshall '91, Brian Zielinski '91,
