FALL, 1968 EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY Good Luck, John I ill John Bruce, '59, director of Alum­ ni Relations and University Develop­ ment, resigned effective July 1, to enter public school administration. The very responsible and likeable Bruce was the first full time director of Alumni Relations and was instru­ mental in developing plans for East­ em's Keystone Campaign. Under his direction, alumni ser­ vices and membership have grown to an all time high. John will be missed by alumni who worked closely with him and those who worked with him at the Alumni and Development Offices.

In her current ownership great care has been taken to ensure she remains an intimate family yacht yet her dimensions allow for everything offered by modern super yachts albeit they could never match her charm or 1930s glamour. To read about DEVA’s history hints at the capability of this yacht, totally at home crossing oceans and probably perfect for a circumnavigation. In recent years DEVA has benefited from a devoted crew and owner and she has very few comparisons. Sometimes owners want to move on and having made this decision they will now consider all realistic offers. • SANDEM AN YACHT COMPANY • • Brokerage Of Classic & Vintage Yachts • www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk © Sandeman Yacht Company Limited 2021.
