Thanks Mark. I enjoyed Roosevelt. It was a good environment with small classes and a lot of personal attention. It was transformational for me. Still remember studying in Grant Park and sneaking up onto the roof of the auditorium building to take in some summer sun. I entered as a second semester sophomore transfer student in 1969 and graduated in 1971. Good times. On Feb 24, 2013, at 8:14 PM, Mark C <[email protected]> wrote:
