As much as I do promote NTID, I don’t feel the alumni association is doing enough to bring people back together. NTID is not big like most colleges and within the deaf culture, usually everyone knows everyone. Somehow, we have lost the connection and support for RIT/NTID. As a alumni, I could support more including financial support if I had the connections. The connections are not there and right now, I am 5 years away from retirement, I don’t think the connection will ever come back.

I do talk about the deaf culture and mentioned NTID twice in my blog.

Guess who I am. :)

DC has nothing on salena’s, macgregor’s, and pontillo’s. I never liked the lilac festival, though–hate the stink of lilacs. makes me think of nursing homes.

“Will NTID be victorious at this spring’s Rockfest?”
Of course!

“Why did we fill in the cherished quad?”
Because the steps were dangerous, and the ‘lower’ area was not well used. In 2006 when we built the new CSD Student Development Center (SDC) adjacent to the LBJ Building we wanted to beautify the quadrangle area. The SDC is a welcome addition to our campus. There is still an open and green area at the quadrangle site. That area was named the D. Robert Frisina Quadrangle to honor NTID’s first director. Hopefully our alumni can see these improvements first-hand during the 40th reunion in June 2008.

“Will NTID establish a climate change program so Rochester will experience toasty springs, creating a swarm of new NTID student and job applications?”
No, no plans to control the weather! We actually had three days in the 60s this week – not bad for early January. Many of us enjoy the four seasons Rochester offers.

Please go to Alan’s website and ask better questions than mine!

What a great discussion! And what perfect timing – we’re sending out a vlog sometime soon to announce the 40th anniversary reunion that’s going to be held June 26-28 on campus. All the info is being posted to a new reunion website http://www.rit.edu/ntid/reunion - it’s not all up yet, but keep checking back and you’ll see a schedule of all the fun events! We’ve set up an e-mail address specifically for the reunion, NTID40thReunion@rit.edu. If you want to get the vlog, send us a quick email and we’ll add you to the distribution list!

I have to admit - as much as I couldn’t wait to get out of Rochester and start living my life after college, Rochester really was a great place to live :-)

I should say that I find the existence of “catacombs” to be kinda intrigued, but could be somewhat dangerous and creepy.

I was starstruck by the NTID/RIT catacombs which I never thought of any college campus having such underground tunnels.

As compared to my home state, West Virginia University (WVU) have the monorail systems above the walking paths. I do not know if any university have such monorail system in existence.

My taste in men - bad boys?? Not really! I do not have any problems with bad boys until they are physically and verbally abusive. I will not put up with those guys at all.

Many so-called bad boys are really good in bed. I enjoy guys with brooding manners which they are more honest than do-gooder guys.

I am not into tatooted and piecered guys anyway. I do like cocky guys which they are really the fun ones.

I do know WHO you are. I could tell your writing pattern. :)

Good grief! Don’t you have anything to say that remotely makes sense??? ”

Case in point–”I liked the catacombs…which I found them to be somewhat creepy and dangerous.” At the risk of sounding extremely juvvie here, how can you like something you found creepy and dangerous? Oh, that’s right, it does illustrate your taste in men…the bad boys.
