It is a very exciting time. I'm getting ready to start my new job as Dean and we're happy for Suzanne's good health. So, we decided to have a celebration to share our joy.

The table was all set with breads and relishes that made for a nice view as the hoagies hid the pennies in the kitchen and the portobello foccaccia's were where the plants had been as the fruit stood skewered and the desserts looked even better than the con queso dip. The birthday hat was ready for Rich Gittleman and the clock said that people would be arriving soon as the final breads dips and non-pareils kept the glass candy happy and the sauce amused Ben as we got the fish ready and the table was ready for the company.

Jane made her way down the steps

in time for the arrival of the Dobbs-Allsop's and Peter Kramer while Kathy Klockenbrink brought her platter. Laura and Doris were chatting as the McKeon-Williams family arrived amusing both Doris and Laura until the Wagner children marched in which seemed to amuse both Tony and Ross

Rich Gittleman brought the fish and I was able to operate it though it will be more handy for visiting faculty. Leong and family arrived as did Martha after which I caught pictures of Emily Shea Stephanie Klockenbrink and Will Dobbs-Allsop but not before I was presented with 3 elegant ties by the people who take the train to New York. This amused Jan Kubik as he enjoyed his sandwich and Jan-girl spoke to Seva

After John Shea's lesson, I tied my ties and then captured the Hutner contingent before the party was over and it was back to reality....
