Cornell Fellows along with Terry Tucker & Company were traveling through Happy Valley in route to Ag Progress Days today, August 19, 2009. During their visit, they stopped by for breakfast with the PSU Humphrey Fellows. Everyone had a great time and look forward to meeting again soon.

Niagara Falls Trip with the new fellows. Since all the fellows are living at White Course, we made the annual trip early. The weather was great! Everyone except Edward made the trip in a PSU 15 passenger van. We look forward to our next trip with the whole group!
