I personally don’t care if he has peppers, but its really important to my learning that others view the professors as pepper-worthy. Mr. G, try some glasses. That’s my advice. You’ll look more professorly. Even if you don’t need them.

Also, Prof G could have tried to feature some celebrity guest lecturers. I mean, I know he had Michael Moore once, but I’m paying good money here, and I expect a Clinton. Hillary will do but he probably would have really gotten through to us if he had brought Bill.

Finally, Prof G brought us free coffee or pizza…and need I say it? Lame. Try buying our textbooks or filling our gas tanks next time for the win.

The only good thing I have to say is that the BREAKS WERE AWESOME!

Can you help me?

Nobody in my family has taken the Streeter DNA test (that I know of). I’m currently looking into your question about the Welcome “sisters” and hope to have some answers soon. I’ll keep on it! – JG -

I sent the information to you over email as you requested. I’m sure Ron will be happy to speak with you. From what I recall about our conversation last summer, he was eager to discuss family history. Keep me posted on your progress! – JG -

Just ran across your site while searching for Sterling Way Allen. I am related, though not through him. I descend from his brother, Philemon.

I read your story about him given to you by Ron Strauss, and if he is a descendant of Sterling, then we are related. If at all possible, do you think you could put me in touch with him? If not, I understand.
Please feel free to contact me via email
Thanks,
Bill

I thought it would have come out after 2001 as their 3rd release (makes me feel really old). Their first few albums came out when I was in high school. I’m surprised by how much the guy seems to dislike file sharing which points to a more capitalized view on music. And, I didn’t realize how high it had hit on the charts. I did know Maynard was “from” Michigan and my favorite vocal is, of course, his contribution to RATM’s “Know Your Enemy.”

I recognize the song, I think, but it is not the “Crash” that I am more familiar with from Dave Matthews Band

I cannot tell you how big “U Can’t Touch This” was at the time. I was a fifth grader and remember being a school safety crossing guard
