Some photographic documentation of parties. (These are actually parties from a couple of years ago. We've had parties since, but your humble webmaster has not had time to keep this page updated.) Click on the thumbnail picture for a larger version in a new frame.

Going Away Party for Kathryn and Luke

	Kathryn and Luke said that they didn't even do the "Cut the cake thing" at their wedding, but we made them cut the Good Luck cake.
	Bill Sudderth, Kathryn Chaloner, Erica Oehlert.
	Rebecca Bormann, Christine Oehlert, Liqiang Ni, and Rong Yang.
	Brenda DeBlois, Michael Peascoe, Chao-Yin Chen.

Holiday Party 2001

	Frank Martin, Kathryn Chaloner, Bill Sudderth, and Charlie Geyer enjoy the bounty.
	Radu Lazar and Murali Haran converse, while Siamak Norbaloochi surveys his choices.
	Bill Sudderth and Charlie Geyer are still eating, Laura Pontiggia checks out the Buffalo wings, and Mary Hildre talks with Lou Sherfesse (PhD 2001). (Lou always wore shorts, regardless of the weather.)

Pot Luck Dinner, fall 2001

We only have pictures from the living room, because I put the camera down and started eating when I went into the dining room.

	A young Oehlert and two young Tierneys, Kathryn Chaloner, two young Jones, Nancy Meeden, and Jerri Sudderth concentrate on the job at hand, between fits of giggles and many brownies.
	Olivia Jones peeks from behind the flowers, while Matt Gregas, Birgit Grund, Yun Ju Sung, someone incognito, and Murali Haran set good examples.

Fall Picnic 2001

We do seem to have a consistent theme in these parties.

	A guest, Francisca Winston, Heather Way, two more guests, and Lili Zhou are slowing down.
	Matt Gregas, Michael Peascoe?, Liqiang Ni, Bill Sudderth, Vera Bulaevskaya, and Brenda DeBlois will not take any more brownies, no matter how many times I offer.
	Help me out here. We've got Xuerong Wen and Jun Sheng, but I can't see the others clearly enough.
	Claude Setodji, Chao-Yin Chen, Murali Haran, Glen Meeden, and Jessica Stoering have an after dinner discussion. I notice that Murali is in most of these eating pictures.
	Bert Steece and Sandy Weisberg in the foreground, Galin Jones, Gary Oehlert, and Luke Tierney all speculate on how many brownies Graham Tierney (green shirt) can eat without being sick. Olivia tries out the swing.

Lavone Johnson's Retirement Party, June 2001

	Jane Sell, Mary Hildre, and Lavone check things out before the party starts.
	Vera and Murali pose with Lavone.
