Notes:
*)An amusing coincidence—as I was helping Pramod, Sergio, Alberto, Tariq, among others construct this index, on MidSomer’s Murders, murder’s family motto was “Jamais vainçu”” (i.e., Never Surrendered!—or maybe Never Conquered.)

**) I recognized Peter Pappas because, as he told us, of a family gene­­ his hair turned white when he was 22 years old.

***) Franco Guerriero, our genial emcee for the banquet. (In Spanish, Guerrero means warlike, warring, or mischievous, so be careful!)

****) Patrick Smith looked so cherubic I didn’t recognize him at first!

Many faces are familiar but the shadows & the low resolution makes an ID iff. I  recognized Peter Papas because he told that a family gene turned his hair turned white when he was 22 or 23. I recognized myself from the generous lunch I had just eaten! The hat of the  mathematician to the left of Sergio hid his face, but I saw it on a police poster somewhere. In fact that is probably why so many faces look familiar! Hmmm. next time I go to the Post Office, I’ll copy your names out. Ha­ha, Carl
