Subject: about making decision

 
 Zhang Fan made an important point about making a 
 decision for the proposed date of reunion. Seems
 to me many of us favor the idea; but a little
 uncertain about making a final decision. There might
 be a couple of reasons:
 (1) Although it is highly preferable to meet as many
 people as possible, what matters the most is the
 reunion of classmates. Some of us are waiting to
 see if there are enough 7771s committed to the event.
 While talks among 7773s have been going on for quite
 a while, discussions among 7771s just get stated. It
 may take some time for reaching a consensus.
 (2) Many of us are still struggling with life such as
 carrer, family, etc. While most have reached a 
 comfortable level in this process, it may be a little
 premature to gather for sharing and enjoying the past.
 (we still have a future:-) A couple of years waiting 
 may be necessary.
 (3) We are a big class. A real effort has to be made
 to organize the event. We haven't done enough yet(I 
 surely share some of the responsibilities)
 
 In any case, these are my personal view, not necessarily
 represent the view of majority. I want to put them here
 to encourage everyone to participate the discussion: 
 either for or against the proposed date. Nothing can be
 accomplished without the enthusiastic participation of
 all. Please join the effort and voice your views!!!
