04.06.05 It was to be a time of celebration. On Wednesday, April 6, Sarah Kay IMG_0592 who we are hoping to recruit from Cambridge for our French and Italian department appeared and then Kirk Unruh IMG_0593 and Jody Friedman IMG_0594 from Development came to prep me for the next night. Later, Liz Lunbeck IMG_0595 from History came for a discussion.

04.07.05 The next day, I began my eating with a faculty lunch for IMG_0596 IMG_0597 Left to Right: Tali Mendelberg (Politics), Martin Kern (East Asian Studies), Antoine Kahn (Electrical Engineering), Phil Holmes (Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and PACM), David Botstein (LSIIG and Molecular Biology), Peter Meyers (Physics)

At the end of the day, old friends came to visit including Mark IMG_0598 and Fran Berman, IMG_0599 a computer scientist from UCSD who used to (as in 20 years ago) go to the same conferences as me and their son Nick IMG_0600 who was checking Princeton out.

That night was the dinner for endowed professorships and I sat with Susan Goldman S'86 IMG_0601 and Eddie Niestat '86 IMG_0602 across from Arnold Fraiman '47 and Peter Kelly '05 IMG_0603 and the organist and the economics student IMG_0604 and next to Edward Goodnow '47 IMG_0605 who had endowed the Frederick L. Moore '18 chair. Peter was nice enough to capture pictures of Mary Harman S'63, Ed Matthews '53, and Mary Ellen Bowen IMG_0606 Marie Matthews, Bill Bowen and Ezra Zilkha IMG_0607 Gerhard Andlinger '52 and Shirley Tilghman IMG_0608 Tom Silhavy (Mo Bio) IMG_0609 the Billingtons IMG_0610 these people who are unknown to me IMG_0611 and himself with Sally Lane and Jay Sherred IMG_0612
