Amherst Magazine on Amherstiana

The Spring 2005 issue of the Amherst Magazine has just been mailed out and updated online, and, among other things, it features an article about Amherst memorabilia and eBay. The article, titled “Wild, Wild Web: The Hunt for Amherst on eBay,” was written (and photographed) by Sam Masinter ‘04, whose photos of the Mandela event we brought you earlier this week. The piece features an interview with me (plus at least one photo of me surfing the web - has that ever looked cool?) that Sam conducted back in January. The article also features some of Sam’s experiences as well as an interview with Daria D’Arienzo of the College Archives and Special Collections.

It’s always strange so see oneself referred to by one’s last name in a publication, and I can’t remember saying half the stuff I seem to have said, but Sam did a good job representing the strange and interesting world of Amherst on eBay.
