What did you do in the Corps? drummer

What years were you a Corps member? 1958 -1963

Sometime ago I had some back problems,and I had to
go to the Rehabilitation Insitute of Chicago,it's
part of Northwestern Hospital.I had to have a
injection there,well anyway after I was done my
brother Ron,he had to drive me,because they didn't
want me to drive after the procedure,so we got on
elevator to go to the parking lot and who was
waitng there with us but Sal Ferrera.I seen him
standing there and he did look familiar but I
wasn't sure who he was.When we were on the elevator
together,I kept glancing at him,and than as I
realized who he was,the elevator stopped at his
level and he got off to go to his car.

If I would've have realized it sooner I would've
have introduced my brother and I and maybe talked
to him.But it was too late.

After your post, I went and found my Alumni Magazine under the pile of junk mail I haven't sorted yet.

As you note, he had an Industrial Engineering Degree from Northwestern. His PhD was from University of Chicago. I'd say your comment on his economic views having a communist flavor are correct. That's likely why he was involved in a non-profit housing organization for years rather than working for a large profit making firm or getting a teaching gig (Economics departments tend to be conservative as a lot of their funding comes from major corporations and someone with his views is going to have a tough time being hired. Especially in the 60s and 70s).

Sounds like he never practiced as an Industrial Engineer or maybe he did and that's why he got the PhD.
