Published by the Ball State University Alumni Association, Muncie, IN 47306
Dear :

As I write this message the weather in Muncie is 59 degrees. Birds were chirping this morning during my walk in to the office and spring break for the students is a mere five days away. I can still recall the days of going on spring break and I sure do miss them! Enjoy this issue of NEWS from the NEST!
