- Who
did it?
- The
planning and implementation of the memorable "First Annual
Engineering Barbecue" Sept. 13, enthusiastically encouraged and
assisted in myriad ways by Mrs. Jane Boone, Coordinator for
Educational Affairs, was a grad and undergrad student team effort,
energized by EnvE grad student Sharon Walker. The team set up 25
tables and 200 chairs, blew up and hung/affixed 200+ plus helium
balloons, made table cloths stay on the tables in spite of a
mischievous wind whipping around the courtyard, bought, hauled and
prepared food (cleaned and cut "pounds and pounds of onions,
tomatoes and lettuce"), set out food, cleaned/ prepared BBQ
grills, grilled hot dogs and flipped more than 500 burgers (Prof.
Grober proved to be a most serious chef extraordinaire!), and
had produced Engineering tee-shirts for the raffle. And then they
took everything down and cleaned up after the rest of us. So, let's
hear it for Eric Stern, Youjung Byon, Josh Buck, Skye Grue, Kate
Johnson, Sharon Walker, Tom Boone, Ratna Oetama, Sven Uda, Todd
Zickler, Jeff McCutcheon, Ermme Harper, Sara Hasmi, Jane Halverson,
Long Nghiem, Matt Hirschbeck, and Jeremiah Johnson. Also thanks to
Mr. Tom Boone Sr. and to all who loaned and carted around BBQ
grills! Pictures: www.eng.yale.edu/news/barbecue-02.htm
