I must say that I'm surprised that there was only one letter from my class and that only because the writers were appalled by the lack of notes from our class. So, here's my two cents' worth--I just moved to Pittsburgh, and to celebrate I had a JHU-CMU reunion party attended by LEE ROSEN '96, JASON HANSEN '96, PARAG NENE '96, RAUL JOCSON '95, STELLA HWANG '97, MARK LORD '97, and CHRISTINE AYASH '98.
