TENTATIVE
FOR THE COHORT SPRING POST-COMPS PARTY.
WITH A
Thanks,
I will append the simple directions for those with
their own or rental vehicles, but we may also go in convoy after the five
o'clock Friday end of class on May 5.
It should take under an hour for the thirty miles
even in the Beltway/270
getaway traffic of a late Spring weekend. It might even be a chance for applicant
guests to meet faculty and students in recruitment of Cohort 18+ to have them
observe a class and then talk with veterans of the "Trust in the
Process."
There is also a way to get to or from Derwood MD
using public transport, since the Washington Flyer from Dulles goes to West
Falls Church Metro connecting at Metro Center to the Red Line that ends in
Shady Grove station a short walk away--and within a few minutes drive of the
phone number appended.
For any "thrill seekers" who wish to ask
the Loudon County indigenes who might be driving and who could be up for a real
adventure at a spectacular time of year in full azalea and rhododendron bloom,
I might recommend an even more fun alternative to creeping in 495/270 traffic,
"adventure travel" up Rte. 7 toward Leesburg connecting with Rte 28
East. As a Cohort (rather than a full
regiment) we could cross the
We can join with the faculty, significant others and
TA's, each awaiting the latest news flash--even if a number of our creative
writing pieces from last Friday's sessions in the computer lab of Building #1 are in
their third review, preventing an early release of the good news, that--like
the orals, everyone who took the writtens also passed
the second "qualifying " hurdle.
I suspect that the time and place would be a good one for that
announcement!
Looking forward to it along with you!
Cheers!

Hi all,
On behalf of Glenn, I want to remind everyone that
he has graciously
offered to have an end of year party at his home in May.
Thus far our
schedule is free Friday evening so it is a good time to get
together.
Glenn is going to have it catered so please email me
(since he his
always on the road I will collect the info for him) if you
are NOT
going to attend. As long as we know about ten days ahead
that should
work. Glenn will send out info regarding the time and
directions again
closer to the actual date.
Great seeing everyone and I know that we will all
enjoy a much needed
less stressful month. Safe Travel.

You won't believe what just happened! (see attached.)
I have lots of stories about the "pilot
study" and will attach a couple of them with the next email to you.
Yes, I had planned on having a Chesapeake Party with
as many bushels as a vehicle will hold.
I called two caterers on the
I am especially keen on getting you out her to have
a look at the woods and what I hope to do to keep it free of ICC and other
pollutants. I was also keen on getting
the scenic route from class to party over Rte 7 to 28 across White's Ferry.
Why don't you come and bunk in?
The next notes are for the JHL class, (below) and
then I will bombard you with the full treatment of the reply to the woman with
the "instrument!"

I just stopped over at Cameron's Seafood, and was
thinking of getting a "Chesapeake Theme" for our party after I had
called a couple of Eastern Shore caterers and they are too far out to
deliver. So, I thought I might be able
to get a few "party platters" as well as a few bushels of crabs and
various seafood entrees, and we could do it ourselves without the strolling
black ties in the more informal setting of the azaleas, the decks and the Great
Room.
I still think it might be a good idea to take the
Rte 7/28 White's Ferry historic Route across--but I will not be home to set up
being at class. So, I will try to have
most things ready for pickup as I leave--about the way we did at Maryanne's and
that way we might even do the Wegmans' along with our
class!
What do you think?
