I was thinking about the group all last night. I am going to try to find the old photo albums to bring to NYC. I would be interested in having a room to myself, and I am going to check out flights and trains into the city. Don't laugh but I have never stayed in NYC. I will be a total tourist.
I also might consider driving, what do you recommend? Also, does anyone bring family??? I am so excited to see everyone.

Arrivederci, Gibney
st accomplishment to date takes the form of my two kids Ian, aged 12 and Chiara, aged 10. We moved to Italy 2 years ago (having had a foothol
d in Central Italy since '03) and have been busy with this new phase of life, career and fatherhood. Life here is completely different than the stateside rhythm...nice pace, human scale, great quality. Right now my work centers around the purchase and restoration of ruined old stone farmhouses and little groups of buildings that are marketed to ex-pats from places as far-flung as Dubai, Australia and Brooklyn looking for a piece of La Dolce Vita. My interests (sounds a lot like the Miss America Pageant) are origami, quilting, world peace, uhm actually, I like to eat, hang with my kids, travel, drink wine in the piazza, do long distance bike rides and go trekking. I basically try to enjoy living and I will continue to make the effort for as long as I am able. I have not been back to SU since 1984 and don't feel any great connection to the place...just the people. Kudos to Todd for giving us back this great time in our lives. While I will miss the soiree in NYC, Todd will serve notice that the door in Italy is "Sempre Aperto"...that is, always open...Tanti Auguri ai Bravi di Sadler-2!!.KLG
Note that I believe the Sw
amp was room 228, fittingly directly across from the toilets anKoom I had in Year-2 that Barnum inhabited in Year-1... One Fish...Two Fish...Red Fish...Janet Fish...
