The LUG represents! For one brief shining moment, that probably lasted about 
45 seconds, I was more popular than PLANET EARTH, luckily, it was the 45

I'm very uplifted by the yearbook photos -- it seems we have some very very 
excellent photographers on the lug -- just not all of them post images here 
very often. Do check out the yearbook, if you haven't.
