It might be hard to imagine that Tony Beugelsdijk '71 spends his spare time surrounded by planes, saws, hammers and nails in his workshop in Los Alamos, N.M.

Armadillo Futures I Residents of the greater Wichita area will have to pay closer attention to their feet. That's the conclusion Shockers have arrived at after reading two different news releases, both about armadillos.
