William Penn
Back in school daze William Penn towered over the streets of Philadelphia. His hat was the tallest point in Center City. Times have changed. I often yearn for that simpler time. No cell phones, no internet, no e-mail, no texts.

The ties that bind.
Williams class mates Tayer and Blakey, joined by Albert's wife Eleni, also a Wharton classmate. A few observations. The Blakey's seem too wild to live in Lancaster Pa. , Eleni must be the super-calm parent and Albert, my man...I still like the way u roll. Tayer---yoooooop!
