Dorm life
I found it fitting that the picture from Fermilab in the article about dorm life (Oct/Nov 2006) came from an ultimate frisbee game. In the summer of 2000, I came to the Fermilab dorms as an undergraduate from Bucknell University to work on MiniBooNE and I ended up working on my ultimate frisbee game every single afternoon. We had a huge group of players all thanks to the organizing and advertising done by Melanie Novak, also from Bucknell. We had tons of fun and even challenged Argonne National Laboratory to a friendly inter-laboratory tournament. I am very glad to see that the ultimate games have continued at Fermilab.

I am writing concerning your article in the October/November issue about dormitories and guest houses at labs everywhere. I realized that I have stayed in such accommodations at 11 different institutes: IHEP Protvino, Moscow Radiotechnical Institute, Manhe Siegbahn Laboratory (Stockholm), DESY, CERN, Brookhaven, Jefferson Lab, Fermilab, ANL, TRUIMF, and KEK. I wonder how my list compares with those of other frequent travelers?
