...LIFE AS A GRADUATE STUDENT...
I promised some of you pictures of the early days when I just dreamed about ISIP. Here is a walk down memory lane:



Many of you complain how hard life as a GRA in ISIP is. This picture is from the summer I spent at a small electronics company in a bad part of town building elevator power supplies and controllers. I took the bus and train to - one hour each way. The bus stop was outside one of the worst housing projects in Chicago (and I don't mean a badly managed project).



Yes, there was a time when I had more hair. This picture was taken during graduate school.

This picture, taken on my honeymoon in Boston (and Maine), shows that even after marriage, I still had the famous Joe Picone "fro".
