This site was started the a few wks ago and there are already over 640 members.  It was a spin-off of the Rensselaer, NY site which also includes info on the city Catholic schools and a result of the class of 1969's recent 40th reunion.  There are tons of great photos and discussion boards.  thanks to site creator Lynne Beiermeister, granddaugher of former VRHS principal Louis H Dutcher.

According to Brian Neubert at bneubert@goldandblack.com:  "Plue's future at Purdue appears bright as the current freshman looks to be a three year starter for the Boilermakers beginning in 2009." Best of Luck Kenny!

The Rensselaer Polytechnic Review of Proof
by Kay Dube

“Glenn Alkinburgh plays Hal, a doctoral student under the advisory of Robert. He shows the change from young grad student to older professor brilliantly, in both manner and appearance. The occasional moments of awkwardness and nervousness make his character relatable... Proof does more than just entertain; it has a heavier side. Some of the different ways that people respond to mental illness in the family are shown... Proof offers everyone a chance to laugh, and maybe think a little about their own lives. Math may be the basis of the theme of the play, but it takes a back seat to the more important issues of everyone's own personal wants, needs, and fears. Whether you love or hate math, Proof is definitely worth two hours of your life"
