Today in the Student Development Complex at Michigan Technological University, new graduates joined the ranks of 45,000 others who have turned the tassel at Tech. Congratulations to the class of 2001!

Down there on the 9th row on the right is the original Pasty Camiester himself, Jonathan Hopper. It took him a couple of years longer to complete the 4-year BS in Computer Science... mainly because of PASTIES. In the early years of Pasty Central, Jonathan packed all of the orders to be shipped throughout North America, as well as taking the daily Pasty Cam shots. Then, a couple of years ago, others took over the pasty packing, and he became the technical brains behind PastyNET, our high-speed dial-in Internet access for the Keweenaw. Jonathan has agreed to continue in the role of Systems Administrator here at Pasty Central, as we continue to expand our services.

Speaking of expansion, this has been a notable week in the Keweenaw as PastyNET inaugurated ISDN service, for super-fast connections, even in the remote areas of the Peninsula. Our thanks to the new graduate for his ingenuity :o)

Let me be the first post to congratulate you, Jonathan....Keep up the great work..keeping us lost Yoopers connected with home.

Congratulations! How proud you must all be! Continued Good Luck. . .

Congratulations, Jonathan!
We look forward to seeing you in the Keweenaw in June.

Congratulations Jonathon. Be proud of your accomplishments! MTU is no breeze through.

Congratulations Jonathon from an '88 MTU grad! What a great day for you! Good luck and best wishes! Did you smuggle a bottle of bubbly in? I have fond memories of that and even had my photo snapped - a risky venture. But at least I didn't pop the cork and hit the provost like someone did in '86. Ahhh, MTU. Gotta love it.

That place looks awfully familiar..... Some things never change!

Congratulations, and thanks for the great shots!
