Dios mío!

Paul Magee stopped by campus today for five minutes.  No big deal except HE LIVES IN MEXICO and hasn't been to campus in a decade!  He was visiting his 83 year old mom who just had a hip replaced in Bronxville, NY and then his sister who lives in W Hartford, CT.  He was driving to Walpole, NH with his brother in law and figured what the heck, go say hi to JK...Such a thrill.  He recommends all the books by McKay Jenkins '81. When Paul was reminded that the April Donor Challenge was happening he pulled out a $20 and said "That's a buck for each year since graduation!"  So maybe math isnt his forte but he's got spirit!  Great to see you Pablo, please don't wait another ten years.

And less than two hours after Paul's visit, another international classmate called to make his April Donor Challenge gift.  Johannes "Yogi" Mortier - our orthapedic surgeon in Dusseldorf, also informed the class that his 13 year old son happily challenges any of us to a tennis match, as his accolades continue.  Scott Pryce in Spain might be closest geographically- maybe we'll see how that matchup goes before we send any others?

A banner day for '83!
