Summer Sendoffs<\/a> in Long Island.\u00a0 We\u2019ve got gracious and wonderful hosts; I’m bringing a few of people from Boston University excited to meet new family; and, in addition to the eats, we’re setting up a vibe for great conversation and getting to know each other.<\/p>\nPeace.<\/p>\n

Dispatch out of San Francisco (from Dean DeLuca)<\/h2>\n
The Summer Send Off Reception – hosted by Jennifer and Dan Niles in San Francisco was spectacular; we had a full house of engaged, eager, super enthusiastic and service-minded new Boston University Students. \u00a0The parents were super cool and relaxed. Students connected like I have never seen, and the parents were fantastic (and, acting like parents, with lots of good questions).<\/p>\n
The hosts Dan and Jennifer Niles — Class of 1989 — were warm, kind, generous and hospitable. The food and their residence was fantastic (with views were absolutely stunning).\u00a0 Students did not want to leave — after two and half hours the final guests departed!<\/p>\n
My personal thanks and shout out to Dale Robbins, Nancy Lyons, and Development and Alumni Relations for their help, support and assistance at the highly successful San Francisco event.<\/p>\n
Congratulations to one and all for their continued outstanding work in making these shindigs go off seamlessly!<\/p>\n
Stay well and safe travels to all,<\/p>\n
Best,<\/p>\n

Walking around New York and chatting with folks nearby makes me feel like I’m home, again – the familiar accents and swagger; I heard some Billy Joel on the Island; can watch a decent handball game; catch a real slice; and, finally, someone gives me a smile of solidarity when I ask about the Mets.
