Photos from the mists of history...

Larry Sampas recently found some old negatives of pictures he'd taken in 1991. He had them developed, scanned them, and posted the images to his own blog. Check 'em out. Apparently we were so young, only black and white film could adequately capture our youthful ennui. :-)

Red Sox vs. Twins

If you're a baseball fan and live in New England, you know that Red Sox tickets are tough to come by. So why not see the Sox on the road? As it turns out, the Red Sox will be playing the Minnesota Twins in Minneapolis on June 13-15. I'm flying out the day before reunion to catch the June 14 evening game. Anyone want to join me? I'd love to get a group together, and even if you aren't a baseball fan, I think we'll have fun. Interested? Drop me a note at srose1@partners.org or suzannelrose@earthlink.net.

Can't wait to see everyone at reunion!
