Gotta love how in all of the articles about Sarah Hughes, her dad and the 1970 championship team are never mentioned, nor her brother currently at Cornell, but Matt Hughes skipping his classes at IC is worthy of a story. :)

I guess, if necessary, the story could be reprinted with the name David, instead of Matt, because he too missed a week of class.
I don't know if he was back on Friday, though.
yeah i was talking with a friend about this, hoping that david had seen his sister get the gold. i am glad that he was able to! :-))
I hope your smiley covers the first part of your statement too. I've seen tons of mentions about her dad and the Cornell connection in the past few weeks. One recent one is from the NYT, courtesy of Liz Robbins '92. Here's the link:
