Dean of Students) is happy to have me con-
tinue as faculty adviser. That said, I am happy
to let the actives take up as much of my time
as they need or want. When I turned 25 (a few
years ago) I decided that was the perfect age
for me, so having 20 year olds around fits me
and my lifestyle just fine." E-mail: boylec2@

Jason Romano '96 (A1407) is excited to an-
nounce he and his wife, Melissa, have opened a
brewery. "It all started more than 20 years ago
inside the walls
of the chapter
house. I began
my hobby by
making home
brew in the fra-
ternity house.
W h o w o u l d
have guessed
that my RPI
education would have prepared me to open a
commercial brewery? Just a year ago, my wife
Melissa, and I had a crazy idea that we could
build a small-scale brewery in our neighbor-
hood village center. On April 16, the Lake
Anne Brew House officially opened its doors.
By the end of the weekend, we had sold out of
all of our beer, which was over 300 gallons!
If you happen to be in the Washington, D.C.,
metro area, give us a shout and come visit the
Lake Anne Brew House. We would love to see
you. We may even have a special ZooBrew on
tap!" E-mail: aracnid@gmail.com
