Retirement doesn't fit LaVerne L. Baker's '56/81 personality. "Many people my age are retiring," she says, "but not me. I'm like that energizer bunny that just keeps going."

It was a hot day in early April 1882 in the town of Lafayette, Mo., where Jesse James had made a home. He had a bounty of $5,000 on his head, put there by Thomas T. Crittenden, the governor of Missouri.

WSU student Ben Tyson needed some help getting his small business up and running, and he found it with Bill Ellison '71 and Roger Douthett '75. Ellison is chairman and Douthett district director of score, the Service Corps of Retired Executives, a volunteer organization designed to assist budding entrepreneurs of all ages.
