Dyann Curtis   I'm approaching my 12th year with Colgate Geology, and as I reflect on the past, the thing I miss the most is the folks that I became close to during your years here. I get some very nice postcards from many of you; postcards of places I will probably never get the chance to visit, but I love them all. I take them home from time to time and challenge my kids to locate the various places on the globe - they think it's fun and cool! Keep them coming! There have been a few changes in the department over the last 12 years and a few to come. I miss Bob Linsley and soon I will be missing the Chief. I still keep in touch with Bob and he is doing very well. He just returned from an Alaskan cruise, and over the summer did a tour of the Civil War battle sites. He's enjoying his retirement by (you guessed it) playing video games, war games, and tending to his garden. He still drinks Coke and eats plenty of hot dogs! I moved to Hamilton three years ago and absolutely love it. Hamilton a wonderful village to live, work, and raise your kids. My kids are doing great in Hamilton School; Jon is a senior this year thinking seriously about going into the Air Force - he's really into Karate, Judo, and body-building; Emily is a sophomore; and Sarah is in the eighth grade. The girls are both active in soccer, basketball, and track (Sarah broke the girls modified record - set in the 70's - for the 200-meter hurdles). (To those of you who know me best: "No, I didn't bring the Warden with me".)
