The event listed is last year on June 1st 2007. So I guess with this being a leap year it was the same Friday last year. Just have to see if something comes up.

I heard just the opposite on my street. CG examiners were surprised that the Class was doing so very well, at least on the deck side.

For the past two years 100% of the graduating class has passed the license before the commencement exercises.

looks like 28% of the deckies will be taking sections again next week.
