Do we have any Tom Clancy fans out there? My cousin is reading his
latest and sent me this little clip. (Every other year? I don't
know... maybe he's predicting something...)
Other RPI alumni, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Clancy
was the commencement speaker in '92.

Been reading the latest Tom Clancy novel. Here's a passage you might
find interesting. Jack Ryan is now President and he's hosting the
Stanley Cup champion Anahiem Mighty Ducks...
"My CIA Director is a big hockey fan," Jack said.
"Really" Bob Albertsen asked. He was a very physical defenseman, the
terror of his conference for his board checking, but as docile as a
kitten in this setting.
"Yeah, he has a kid who's pretty good, played in the kids' league in
Russia"
"Then maybe hs learned something. Where's he go to school?"
"I'm not sure what colleges they're thinking about. I think they said
Eddie wants to study engineering."
"Tell him to send the kid to Rensselaer. It's a good tech school up
by Albany."
"Why there?"
"Those damned nerds win the college championship every other year. I
went to Minnesota, and they cleaned our clock twice in a row. Send me
his name and I'll see he gets some stuff."
