Highlighted Class Note: Model Citizens
Category: Class Notes
A January Baltimore Sun article focused on 94-year-old Bill Tamburrino, B.S. ’51, and the replica of his Fallston, Maryland, home that he has spent 30 years crafting as a gift for his wife, 82-year-old Dorothy, A.A. ’52. According to the article, “The retired Baltimore City Public Schools teacher and administrator has been working on the model since the late 1970s.”
The Tamburrinos, married for 63 years, met as UB students and purchased their home in 1967. With the help of son William and grandson Dante, the elder Tamburrino created a model that features detailed reproductions of cabinetry and other design elements, all on a 1-to-10 scale. The three crafters are now working on making furniture for what Bill calls the “baby doll house.”
