Last year was great for Raymond Melecio. In April he traveled to Japan with Mariel Cedeno ’02 and had a great time touring Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto, Nara, Tokyo, and Mt. Fuji. In September he was honored to be the “man of honor” for Nina Levenduski ’99 at her wedding. If anyone is interested in seeing photos of Japan, Nina’s wedding, or both, e-mail him at skiddy2000@yahoo.com.
