Wilma's birthday

We had planned our trip to be in Venice in time for my mom's birthday, which we celebrated today. She is 71 and has seen all 450+ students come and go since 1988. In a few years, I will be as old as she was when the first WPI students came to Venice. It makes me wonder where I'll be when I'll turn 71 myself...
TANTI AUGURI MAMMA!
P.S. As a continuing present to my mom, I have not smoked since mother's day...
