From Sherri Lantinga

Hi Adam -

I cannot believe you're turning 28! My most vivid memory of you (though I have plenty of other more/less vivid memories) is in Experimental Psych, when someone mentioned that a plane had hit the world trade center that morning; you were in that class, and for some reason the faces in that class makes up my "flashbulb" memory of 9/11. I also remember fondly your bare feet, various hair styles, your post-graduate show on faith and life, and our most recent visit during my kids' soccer game.

Have a wonderful birthday, so far from home, and teach the locals how to sing "happy birthday" to you and make wishes before you blow out candles on cake-now-covered-with-a-fine-mist-of-well-intentioned-spittle.

Peace,
Sherri
