Life in Rochester, NY

Image
[I'm here in "the-weather-changes-every-15-minutes" Rochester!] Having completed our 20 days of Orientation ( see photos ) and the closing ceremonies at New Windsor on Friday, Unit #270 BVSers said their goodbyes "several times" before departing on trains, planes or in automobiles that would rush them off to their assignments. My assignment, working on alternative energy solutions for underdeveloped countries with AHEAD Energy Corporation , located in Rochester, NY at the University of Rochester. The weather here has been cloudy and rainy for three days, so I've been thinking about all of you enjoying those warm, sunny California days. I was staying with the founder of AHEAD and his wife, Ben and MJ, in their beautifully landscaped, country style home til I moved into my own two-story house just a block away from the Genesee River . The Genesee River's name is derived from the Iroquois meaning good valley or pleasant valley for anyone interested
