������Ƶ memories, past and present . . .

"I entered ������Ƶ as an older student at the age of 45. I enjoyed my two years there. Learned much from the professors and the students. I remember professors Isreal Posner, David Lester and Will Jaynes among others who made learning such a good experience. I graduated with a high GPA and was accepted by Rutgers for graduate studies at age 47. Never too late to learn something new. Thanks for good memories. Congratulations on your 50th."
