T.H.E. Tunnel News from NY Times

A very promising beginning with the first class

My thanks to Bienvenu, Grace, Yves, Charlotte, Clement, Felix and especially Pierre for all your help and kind attention today.

I'm looking forward to Monday.   When you review the reading pay more attention to Chapter 3 than Chapters 2 and 4.   I'm not planning to address Chapter 2 during the class.

Bienvenu suggested that I might want to post a transportation news article that we can discuss in class each day.  Quickly scanning my emails I suggest that we discuss this press release.  My company (Jacobs Engineering) has been working on this for more than 10 years and my staff have been working on it for at least a year.  Apparently our client(s) announced a milestone yesterday.

See you Monday 9:30 am at room 39.3.47.  Looking forward to your questions.

Profitez de votre week-end
