Greetings, Class of 2002! I hope this note finds you happy and well. Over the past year or so, many of us have celebrated milestones, including the Big 3-0. As we transition from our 20s to our 30s, I hope the coming years provide everyone with even more adventures and opportunities than we experienced in our 20s.
