_ Nsw:

The UN has declared October 7th
Children’s Day, a great day to start
thinking seriously about those trick-or-
treaters headed your way. INside advises
you to consider your Hallowe’en candy
selection carefully (Belgian chocolates are
always a winner) and to make sure you
have plenty on hand (left-overs graciously
accepted at the office). Don’t forget to
sharpen your knives for the Alumni
Association’s Great Pumpkin Carving
contest on the 30th, and be sure to Monster
Mash on over to the Athletics Hallowe’en
Party on the 31st. Ghouls rule!

Marriage for Mark

honeymooned along the Oregon coast.

Baby for Barb

September 12 marked the birth of a
beautiful 7 Ib. 9 oz. girl to Barb
Thompson and family. Mom and Katelyn
Elise are now both home and doing well.

Travel Opens Ears, Eyes

After a recent trip to England, Facilities
Services’ Jean Allan and spouse hopped
over to the island of Leskas, Greece for a
little R&R. “It was great,” she says,
“except for the one day we awoke at 5
am—in a hotel room just downhill from a
swimming pool—to the sounds of an
earthquake.” Luckily, the pool—and
Jean—held up, even after the five
additional quakes that day.

CE’s Cathie Cookson visited family in
Finland this summer, and while there took
in short trips to Sweden, Estonia, and
Russia. She reports that the “almost
unimaginable” wealth of the czars she
saw in St. Petersburg museums “made it
clear why there was a revolution in the
first place,” and provided a poignant
backdrop to the growing social and
economic disparities she noted during her
Russian travels.
