age unknown, parts unknown Wow...hmmmm...that's a thinker. I was going to say the entire spring semester at Penn-State, but then I remembered the class trip to Boston when my friend Janet and I were almost washed overboard by tidal waves on the whale watching tour. That has got to be my favorite memory...you had to be there. Jennifer, 20
Wilkes-Barre, PA USA I don't have a "best memory" for this year so much as an on-going experience. I made new friends with a woman, her brother and two kids.

Diamond, OH USA I'm hoping you mean "best" on a scale of good or fond. I had a couple - a wonderful vacation we went on, to Salem, Mass. back in May...reuniting with many old and dear friends back in my old neighborhood in New York in early October...and leaving a job I felt was really smothering me (that was a great feeling of release). My most vivid memory, of course, was and always will be 9/11. Fisch, 46
