     Comments: There wasn't anything better about attending UMD than taking physics courses! By far and away the best courses though were upper-level lab courses - PHYS 375 and 429. Since graduating, I've kept up a bit on the PHYS429 course and am sorry to see that many of the experiments that I and others worked on have been cancelled due to lack of funding for replacement equipment. I was probably one of the last people to get the Optical Pumping and the Hanle Effect apparatus to work, and it's too bad that others can't learn from these experiments as I did. Charles Smarsh and Dr. Roos were extremely helpful to me during that time and I appreciate your hard work gentlemen! I also enjoyed working with Colin Shreffler, Vishnu Jejjala, and Ming Wong (among many others!) on those experiments. I'm currently working as a software engineer developing wireless software for field service management, and the background I have in physics from UMD is valuable in understanding the theory of RF communication. This gives me a much better perspective and knowledge of the field than other application developers who focus strictly on software development. In addition to this I develop financial software which makes use of linear programming, also a part of the physics curriculum (through the math department). I'd be interested in communicating with people I used to study or work with at UMD, so please feel free to drop me an email. Thanks!
