PERSONAL PICK: First Introduction to OGC- Old Picture

I was sorting out old emails in my yahoo account when I stumbled upon the email of Brian Christensen. I am so glad he has a copy of the picture when I joined them for lunch at the Quisumbing Torres law office in Global, my first ever introduction to the Office of General Counsel. I wanted to upload it on the entry where I talked about going-in house, but for some reasons it wouldn't allow me to edit that post. SO for the sake of keeping record, I just post it here with the message from Brian.

Mhe-anne,
I'm glad you joined us for lunch here at this law firm. Attached is
our picture--I think everyone (except for me) looks great!
:-)
