...Warner Burchard '82 saw a more philosophical change in his classmates from a half-century ago." "The members of our class speak to each other now we never talked to each other then," he said. Burchard had this recollection of the way the Class of '82 communicated to each other. "In Boston, the people you sat next to in class would say hello to you.
