Space Masquerade – 16 August
Every year there is an alumni conference and part of the conference includes a Space Masquerade. The students didn't have too much time this year since we had robot day, rocket launch day, and presentations the same weekend. I went as dark matter. I thought it was clever but most people were not fooled.

Jim and Lin Burke, 16 August 2003. Posted 24 September 2003. Gosh, this is the only picture I have of them. But how appropriate ... they are having fun with the students in their own way. I believe those are boxer shorts on Jim's head.
