Dr. Fawcett, You and Syracuse were turning point for my life. To sum it in few sentences will be difficult for me. Anyway let me try: In August 1993 when I landed at Syraucse, I was really home sick and had classic culture shock. Dr. Fawcett, who was the admission co-ordinator beside the OOD professor helped me a lot and soon was like a father figure to me. I could confide and get guidance from him for everything. Even a decade later he continues on. All of us who know him and Syracuse University are very lucky. Regarding me, I live in a Wahington D.C. suburb (Ashburn, VA) with my wife and son. I have worked at AT&T, NeuStar Inc. and at present at GEICO as a software engineer. I feel very lucky mainly due to people I know. I wish you all the very best in life. Though I did not keep in touch with you, you have been always in my thoughts and people like my uncle in NYC and my father do ask about you. I will try to come to Syracuse sometime soon to meet you all.
