Subject: Update on Reunion

 I sent a e-mail in MS Word file to all of you last Sunday (5/10) to summarize the current proposal and discussions. After talking to several folks, I am aware that quite a few of you did not have chance to get the information due to either unable to open the Word file or other reasons. I did get undiliverable error message for quite a few folks in Canada. Now I post the file here for your information.
 
 As you can see, we have 35 folks filled registration form and 23 of them are committed to go. It seems the proposed location and date are supported by majority and I will post a estimated budget by next weekend after I check with hotel. Please respond the form even you are undecided in such way we know you got the info.
 
 Thanks for the timely responses and talk to you later. 
 
 The following is the letter I sent out last sunday without the Song:
 ______________________________________________________
 Please turn on your multimedia speakers and listen:
 
 SONG 
 
 Does the music bring you back 15 years ago when we were not that old? 
 Don’t you want to sing the song together with the original crew? 
 How many times you can say the words: after 20 years....?
 
 Join the USTC 777 20-year Reunion!
 
 Thanks Tang Ming, Dai Sa, Lin Jian, Zhang Fan, Chen Yongsong and all and everyone for the warm comments and inputs. I can feel that the this coming reunion will be truly an unforgettable event.
