Last Tuesday's Luncheon

It was the first for the semester and the first at our new location, the lunch room adjacent to the food court in the Student Union. Many Golden IDers took advantage of the new location to buy a dessert from the Maryland Dairy which I have long believed to have the best ice cream in the Washington area. Newcomer to the program Susan Harris joined us.
