This illustrates something about academia in the 1990s, I think: of the five people in that picture below, four eventually got PhDs. Yet only one (the handsome bearded gentleman on the far left) works in academia today. The others have all done very well for themselves, mind you, make more money than I do, and have no regrets. Just saying.

Joe and Renee are married now and just had a baby! There’s photographic evidence of this, and other ravages of time, at Joe’s website.
