Subject: Hello
Dear Dai Sa, Lao Wen, and all, A couple weeks ago, John (Yong Shuen) Chen asked me if I could help Lao Wen to contact 7771 classmates for the reunion. Unfortunately I was on the road during these two weeks. Thus I am especailly glad to see that Dai Sai has set up this discussion site. Assuming that early July is still the planned date for reunion, I will be able to participate. My only hard constraint in the summer is a research cruise on a French ship from 23 July to 28 August. It is most likely that I will come alone since we are in the middle of having a new house built on the Cape Cod (MA) and the kids (Kevin, 7 yrs and Vincent, 3 yrs) are having too much fun on the Cape during the summer. Two weeks ago, I saw two 7772 classmates in a Keda party in Boston. They are Zhang Yufeiand Huang Yinglei . I did send forward Lao Wen's email to both, but for some reason Huang Yinglei's email didn't work. Dai Sa and Lao Wen, please let me know how I might be of help to you. I will be back to Woods Hole on Wednesday, 29 April and will attend the Spring AGU meeting in Boston during 24-27 May. Would you prefer each of us to call a few classmates to probe their interests? During my visit to Beijing in summer 1997, I saw Chen Xiaofei, Zhu Lianbao, Gao Wei, and Wang Pen Chen. Xiaofei and Lianbao are now the head (Director and Associate Director) of the Geophysics program at Beijing University. They would very much like to invite all classmates visiting Beijing to give a talk at their department (like what I did) or simply stop by. Gao Wei is going back to graduate school, while Wang Peng Chen is in charge of computer operation at the Institute of Geophysics, Academia Sinica. In sum, as long as the reunion does not fall within 23 July- 28 August, I am very likely to join you all. P.S. Xu Yan's message mentioned Hou Pei Yu - is Pei Yu in China or in the US?
