Last night we had the opportunity to meet alumni from the U of M at the alumni dinner. We met for drinks, dinner, door prizes and conversation. I got a chance to speak with a geographer from Seattle who earned his PhD from the U of M in remote sensing in the early 90's. Another alumnus, Fritz, now living in Southern California, took a brief break from telling stories to several of us students to win a University sweatshirt. Those of us that listened to Fritz really enjoyed his professional and life stories. I think I can safely say that all of the people that attended the dinner enjoyed the fellowship it provided.
Following the dinner, some of us students had to teach others about the casino culture of the state of Nevada. Each of us received a $10 voucher with the room to use in the casino. A couple of us students might have ended up ahead on the slot machines, but I think most of us lost our free $10. Regardless, it was an entertaining learning experience.
Later today I plan on attending sessions that deal with forestry's role solving the human caused climate change.
