ERME/TE and C&I Annual Potluck 9/14/08

2008-09-19T14:02:00.012-04:00

Hi all:

The 12th edition of the ERME/TE, C&I annual "back-to-school" pot-luck party was another great success--big turnout of students, faculty, staff, and friends, excellent variety of tasty food (I'd really like some pork ribs next time), really interesting conversations, no rain, relatively few mosquitoes--and no kids squished by the stones! Enjoy the pictures--they start with some party preparations you weren't aware of, then some shots of everyone in the humidity fog (while the camera adjusted), and then all the action.

Thank you again for coming, it was a pleasure to be with you.

Sincerely,
Larry and Marilyn
