TMP 2000

Hello TMP Class of 2000! Greetings from sunny Chicago. Thanks to everyone for the great updates. If you don't receive a quarterly reminder from yours truly about submitting Class Notes, perhaps you need to set up your alumni email forwarding address. While you are there, be sure to sign up for the TMP Class of 2000 listserv.

On with the updates ...
