Alums around the world and Skype

It was 6:00 PM Thursday and 9:00 AM Friday morning in Taiwan when we connected our Skype video camera with David Schainker '04 for a student to alumnus conversation about life in China.

Nine of our Mandarin language class students addressed "life in China" with David and got riveting answer from a man who is walking the walk and prefers to be totally immersed in the language and culture.

Two or our current students commented off mike that they really believed what a younger alum had to say, and they were ready to make the plunge.

Thank you David. Let's do it again.

Rebecca Miller DuMaine and Dave Miller Trio

Rebecca knocked it out of the park at the Oak City Bar and Grill recently in Menlo Park. She is the vocalist with her dad's trio backing her terrific pipes.

They return to the same venue on Friday, May 20, and I suggest we gather a bunch of Crystal alums to kick back and enjoy some really great jazz. Standing room only so make a reservation for dinner to get a seat! See you there.

See you there!
