Class Note 2015
For this issue I asked our class to send in updates on behalf of their friends. As it turns out, we seem to be more willing to brag about our friends than about ourselves, and the process of gathering updates served as a great way to share information and take pride in our friends’ accomplishments, both large and small. Thanks so much to everyone who sent in updates for this issue!
