It was a long winter. In some ways, it’s still following a lot of us around.
It’s understandable. We’ve been carrying heavy hearts, so let’s continue to lift each other up in appreciation of all the things we hold dear.
As our spring issue creeps into the summer season, I’d like to thank you for your patience, your support and, most importantly, your resilience.
Be well, Spartans

COSMIC RESEARCH
I was pleased to note in your Winter 2023 issue that MSU is actively involved with the U.S. space program. I graduated in 1963 with B.S. and M.S. degrees in the sciences. After completing my Ph.D. at UC Berkeley, I qualified for NASA’s first group of Scientist-Astronauts in 1967. I remained active in my research with space travel and the primordial origin of life.

WILLIE THROWER’S ACHIEVEMENTS
What an incredible football fact across collegiate and NFL levels (Making History Under Center, Winter ’23). MSC/MSU’s pioneering efforts in integrating the game of football cannot be overstated!

1956 ROSE BOWL
May I add another Clash Correction letter (Letters, Winter ’23)? Michigan State did play UCLA in Pasadena, but it was in the 1956 Rose Bowl. MSU 17, UCLA 14. Boy they were mad!
It was then heralded as the largest non-military mass migration in U.S. history. Six complete passenger trains of students and fans set up by the MSU Student Government. I know, I was there!
