Happy 2007 to you all! I'm glad to see that so many of you have signed up for Facebook and joined the various MASSIE Facebook groups. There are now Facebook groups for each MASSIE group from 2003 to 2006.
Some of you have been asking when I will be in Japan. Yoshiko and I booked our tickets last week. I will be at KGU from Feb.26 to March 1. I hope to organize/join some alumni events on the weekend of March 2-4.
There are now so many former MASSIE groups that I don't think it will be possible for me to meet each group separately. For this reason, I've made a special reservation at the "Pig & Whistle Pub" in Shinsaibashi from 3-5pm on Saturday, March 3. This English-style pub will open for a private, all-MASSIE alumni event. Anyone can come, but PLEASE email me first so I know how many people will be there. There will be free snacks and good drink specials all afternoon. Please tell other MASSIE students so everyone gets the message. More details to come later... Adam
