I would very much like to come back for the housewarming and also to find out who from the foundational year ('77/78) might also be coming. It is the first week of our Semester at Penn as well, but this would be a reunion worth the trip. I can certainly try to contact other housemates from those days, though I've lost touch with most of them. I can also contribute a copy of a document I turned up in a recent closet cleaning: "The Declaration of Independents" that we wrote in '76/77 to help others without food contracts and which began our effort to establish an cooperative. I seem to have lost the other clippings -- of the candle light march in front of the clubs, etc. -- though I still have the special issue of the Princetonian covering the occupation of Nassau Hall (Spring 78), which was "attended" by most of 2D....

Is the Class of 1912 (I think) meeting room still in the basement? They came to visit that first year to see what a co-op was and left encouraged that at least we still acted like college students, though the coed bathrooms unerved them. If any of them are left, they might appreciate a note...

I don't know what goes in a housebook, but I probably remember the recipe for garbage soup and certainly the rule that after all the women in the house got in cycle that there was an monthly "night out," when we just didnt' try to cooperate. I could go on, and seem to have already. So, yes, send me the list, put me on the list, whatever, and hope to see you in September. Sincerely, William W. Braham, '79, Architecture
