FW: University of Cincinnati Alumni News

[ALACOMBE]

MessageSince we are on a bash UC kick, have any of you seen the kind of
stuff that the Alumni Association and UCATS have been putting out.  I also
get something called C-Mail that is pretty cool.  There was most definitely
a change in their self-promotion for the better this year.

Nice job Alumni Association and UCATS

Gotta love the new pres - she wheres Red and Black on Day one.  Has Goin
ever worn a red suit?  How about Steger?  She will be a great addition to UC
much in the same light as Goin - a new step up from the past...
