Hi Dr. Fawcett, Here it is finally. Am awefully sorry for the inordinate wait. Regards, Mahesh. P.S: The writeup follows below. -------------------------------------------------- I am working as an Embedded Software Engineer with Welch Allyn, Inc at Skaneateles Falls, NY. Welch Allyn is a leading company for Medical R&D. Development is done mostly on C++ and C, with a lot of MFC and C# being employed nowadays. I have been able to gain the respect of my colleagues, thanks to the profound knowledge of C++, C# and MFC that I now have due to the multitudinous Dr. Fawcett courses that I took. I have taken all his courses, except Internet Programming, the final project of which I did by myself in order to work with Visual Basic and become comfortable with it. I can easily say that Dr. Fawcett is the best thing that can happen to a student at SU. His presence is not only an encouragement, but also a benediction. His incessant energy, his humble spirit, his ever-accomodative nature and above all, his complete mastery and helpful guidance in the form of brilliant class handouts often act as inspirations for the students to put in more than 100% effort. I was blessed to have undergone this enjoyable experience myself. I was also fortunate to have been his TA for the Object Oriented Design and Distributed Objects class, and I have managed to establish a very warm and almost father-son like relationship with him. I owe my present standing and position to him and will always do so. I wish him a long and healthy life and encourage all students coming to SU to definitely take his courses.
