"David and Lynne Adams have brought together under one cover, Massachusetts Memories – UMass Amherst History, twenty-one highly informative narratives; each chapter richly describes some of our Amherst campus history through archival documentation, personal anecdotes, and photographs. Their unselfish "labor of love" has captured a number of our more interesting UMass stories, and presented them in a format that is both factual and easy to read. We can only hope that David and. Lynne continue their efforts and write a second volume for all of those other subjects which have not been included in this first Herculean effort."

"...as a student in the late 1960s and early 1970s, reading this book brought me back to that time. It rekindled my memories of UMass Amherst, especially that raucous Spring 1970 semester. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this interesting and well-documented contribution to the UMass Amherst campus history."
