[neact] Re: UConn's Professor William L. Masterton

Dear Colleagues,

A Memorial Service will be held for Professor Masterton at 2:00 pm on
Sunday, August 21, 2005.  The Service will be held at the First Church of
Christ in Mansfield, CT.  The church is located at the intersection of
Route 195 (which runs through the Storrs, CT campus) and Route 89
(Warrenville Road; between Storrs and Willimantic, CT).
