Members of our Tri-State Alumni Network (N.Y., N.J. and Conn.) attended Monday’s taping of The Daily Show and got to spend a little time with the host, Jon Stewart. Before the show, they gave him a tutorial on how to do the Wolfpack hand sign, which he did at the 17-second mark of last night’s program. Good thinking, guys. Watch it here.
Network leader Amy Rothberg ’03 sent us these pictures:

We have alumni everywhere. This image came to us recently from Kevin Lye ‘94, who lives in Honolulu, Hawaii, and who went to the first Honolulu all-ACC picnic. We sent him some NC State items to make sure the Wolfpack was represented. Kevin, who also earned a medical degree from Wake Forest, writes:
After the attendees reached critical mass, a three-lap spoon-carried color-dyed egg race commenced, pitting four groups of schools against one another on the grassy field at the park next to the War Memorial Natatorium.
As the only alum from NC State, I paired with the two other Wake Forest alumni in attendance. Our red-colored egg made the trip down and back three times with speedy handoffs [spoonoffs?] and our team was victorious over the rascals from Chapel Hill, Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Georgia Tech. [There were no alumni from Duke present at the event; it was rumored that they were all busy complaining to officials somewhere.]
