Dear Dr. Popson:

How are things back at the Department of Physics and Engineering? Let me report on my recent activities.

I completed my M.S. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Virginia in 2001. My research involved the flow of oil an the artificial heart. I went to New York to present at a conference of American Society for Artificial Internal Organs. I also taught physics part-time at a local high school.

I am a mechanical engineer at the National Ground Intelligence Center in Charlottesville, Va. My work involves military intelligence of missiles. Everything has been going quite well. Ellen and I now have two children!

Thank you for preparing me so well for my career.

Take care,
Phil Lemire
Class of 1999
