Post #193,269 by admin 2/6/05 4:56:51 PM Reply	My sister went there for a few years. Then her clarinet teacher moved to Iowa, and my sister followed. I didn't realize they did anything with biology in Lansing that didn't have to do with bovine center of mass and lateral application of force... ;-) I'm over near Rochester.
