PA3 Volunters at Special Olympics





A belated thanks to the terrific group of PA3 volunteers who came out on June 13 to help runners and jumpers in the Special Olympics of New Jersey Summer Games. (When I tried to upload this on the evening of the 13th my computer crashed and died. A coincidence, but it still took me this long to gather the courage to try again on my new laptop.) Volunteers included David Budd '79 with wife Catherine and daughter Lauren; Liz Henry '88 with husband Keith and daughter Lauryn; Wu Suen *99 with daughter Helen; Grace Penn '99; Marian and Olek Zelazny p11; Nell Whiting so69 (so=significant other - that should be an official alumni designation, right?); Tom Hastings '79, Sara Hastings '09, and Arlen Hastings '80. Also in attendance to cheer on the athletes were PA3 president Kristin Epstein '97 and her two young daughters.
