In the past six months, we've
heard from or about a number of ANSO alums. One of the most memorable
letters came from James Kossuth '98, a double major in Classics and Sociology,

Among his first jobs: updating entries for a familiar four-letter expletive.
James has sent out a call to ANSO alums for information on new words.

Ever
wondered what happened to members of the ANSO faculty who moved on to
positions elsewhere? The following is an informal listing of former ANSO

a short trip down ANSO's memory lane begins here, with two photos from
the ANSO archive. (More).
We welcome cards,
email, and photographs (digitized, if possible) from ANSO alums. Please
remember, though, that all correspondence about changes of address should
be directed to the offices of Williams
College Alumni Relations. Until next time, happy trails!
