I am glad...for a minute I thought we had been at school together and should have recognized you.....I have fond memories of DIT...I was a live aboard with John Manloves son until I could find work and a place...bartender at the Moose and a cubby h*** in Ballard, $5.00 to my name and blackberry's from the alley and water in the fridge...couldn't even afford peanut butter! Great times!
