It was bliss and cold lasted about 3 months. I especially loved seeing my kids playing in the snow in our front yard. Everyone would then huddle around the heater afterwards, cheeks all red, sipping hot chocolate by the window while looking at the snow hitting the pebbles on the ground. I wish to return to those happy days. There were unforgettable too, when we were almost had an accident due to the slippery road on our way to Berkshire Mall. Thank God everyone was safe. Currently, I am working at the Prime Minister’s Department as a Deputy Director at the Economic Planning Unit. For your information, I now have 7 kids (4 doughters and 3 sons). They’re all grown ups now. The elderst has started working after finishing university, the second one is in her final year at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia and the third is in her second year in University Malaya, Kuala Lumpur.The forth and fifth have just starting university in July this year, while the last two are in high school in Putrajaya.” Mudunwazi Baloyi ’97, South Africa, writes that he is back in South Africa after spending 6 years in Washington, DC at the Embassy of South Africa as its Trade Diplomat.

Sankara N. Krishnan, ’65 (when the CDE was located at Cluett House) wrote to say: “…I have very pleasant memories of my days at the CDE forty five years ago. I particularly remember Prof Henry Bruton who taught Quantitative Analysis and Prof Gates who taught Economics of Development. I had the pleasure and privilege to attend the 25th anniversary get-together of the CDE in 1985. … I am attaching a picture showing me with my wife Parvathi, son Srinivas and grand daughters Mira 7 and Asha 2.” (February, 2010)
