On the way to the trustee meeting, I noticed that they were all posing undoubtedly for a photo by me.
I had a lunch for Elise Backman '15, Amy Solomon '14, Cason Crane '17, David Drew '14 and Adam Mastroianni '14.
To celebrate my stepping down as dean, the housing committee brought cookies
as well as this Cone of Silence shield.
Then it was Passover and so the seder plate was being assembled
and the asparagus
were prepared by Jospehine
along with chocolate covered strawberries
carrots
kugels
tsimmis
chicken
and matzah balls.
A plate of olives was assembled
to go with the bitter herbs
as the salad and gefilte fish plates were set
but not yet moved to the table.
Suzanne was dressed appropriately
as Martha
Andrei and Scott
Kevin and Ben
Chris and Danny
and Bill arrived.
and so it was time for the seder to being
but before long it was time for the meal which began with the salad and gefilte fish plates
moved on to matzah ball soup
and was followed by the main course(s)
