Dear :
"In the spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours." -- Mark Twain
Apparently, Mark Twain spent time in Indiana. I am sure everyone remembers the unpredictable weather, experienced while walking through the quad in April: Rain one day, snow the next and the following day perhaps sunny and 70. Take some time and come back to campus. I can assure you your visit will bring back wonderful memories while being much more predictable than the weather!
