On March 1, Ravi Sethi *73 came to visit and took these pictures of me before we went off to an enjoyable lunch. Later that day, Mike Celia from Civil and Environmental Engineering and Bob Vanderbei from Operations Research and Financial Engineering came for chairmanly discussions. When I returned home, it was time to record my outfit with my new birthday clothes and for Meredith to try to preempt her birthday by wearing the magic hat before Ben took a few pictures of the family room and we sent Meredith out, camera in hand, to record the duckling family on the steps and the massive snow statue

in the back yard.

Two days later, on March 3, I had a faculty lunch for Left to Right: Jason Fleischer (Electrical Engineer), Kathleen Davis (English), Frederick Hughson (Molecular Biology), Sarah-Jane Mahieu (History), Miguel Centeno (Sociology and PIIRS), Paul Lansky (Music) and then came home for a picture of my new tie as Ben decided to take a too close and too low picture of the owl which seemed to amuse Suzanne as the end of the week neared.
