Michael Carliner
Matt Koch
Victoria Gorska-Rabuk
Karen Eckert
Doug Jones

Liz Follen brought in an academic article that her father had published 40 years ago about the Golden ID program at the University of Maryland. Hugh Perkins was a professor here and sent out a questionnaire to over 300 people who had registered for the program over a year and a half and the late 1970's.

Michael Carliner scanned the hard copy and sent it to me. It's interesting reading, and if anyone wants a copy just email me.

January 14 Semester Break Luncheon

It was a leisurely gathering with people coming and going. It was interesting that some of the attendees were people who seldom make it to the luncheons during the semester, which makes me think that it's a good idea to continue with these.

Those who came:

Liz Follin
Paul Zavattero
Linda Walters
Doug Jones
Alice Klages
Robert Glaub
Richard Ruda
John Sands
