Hee! This was pointed to by an ex-grad student at Berkeley: the Onion's "You Are No Longer Welcome In The Homer Reading Group".

You beat me to posting this Onion piece (you know, time zone issues), but anyway...

Jed is a totally righteous dude, and he still lives in Berkeley (he works for ILM). He does occasionally still show up for Classicsy things (he came to the APA in January, for instance). Ask the (increasingly few) old people in the department to point him out to you, if he comes to something. Failing that, if I'm ever back in Berkeley, I'll try to arrange a social function to which I can invite the two of you. OK?

Jed story:
One summer - a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, before The Phantom Menace was let loose upon the world, my former housemate Bridget (the Kiwi) and Jed were the only two student trench supervisors at Nemea. Now, as you may have heard, some people can have problems at that site, given the character of the local Tyrant. So in order to stay sane, Jed and Bridget decided to communicate only using dialogue from one of the "Star Wars" movies. One can only imagine what the Steve Miller Band made of that...

What, you might stay in Greece forever?

In a perfect world. But the world is not perfect...
