(splash).” Kyrie Robinson: “One day Mark Schiffman, Lindsey Pahs and I unrolled an entire toilet paper roll down the hall in Russell Sage and watched the SuperSuck slurp up the whole thing at super speed. We laughed until we cried.” Mark Sternman: “Charging the court from the band section when John Bean ’87 hit a long three-point buzzer-beater to stun Penn.” Kara Finnigan: “Sitting on the Green on a clear night talking about life with new friends the first week of school, knowing I was in the right place and excited for all that was to come.” Kim Lewis: “On the day I moved into my freshmen dorm room my sister and I were going through the four-way stop sign near Blunt and Mass Row and a car failed to stop and nearly crashed into us.

We will have been married 21 years this May.” Gary Katz: “Rushing the field at the first football game after this practice was banned.
