Poconos Outing 2003

Just before classes began for the Fall 2003 semester, the full time faculty and staff and their families gathered at BECKoning, Dr. Beck's home in the Poconos on Big Bass Lake. Some of our retired faculty joined us as well. It was a day of hiking, swiming, ping pong, and socializing.
