haha,” he writes. “IC has inspired me to
be active in the community around me.
Last summer, I had a reunion with my
closest IC friends: Mohamad Tassabehji,
Mazen Fakhani, & Chris Korban in Tex-
as, U.S.A. and Amin Mamlouk & Samer
Faour also paid me a visit in Montreal.
The IC spirit, alive in each of us, kept our
friendship well-knit. Those reminiscent
memories keep us best friends no matter
how far apart we are in world. I thank
IC for allowing me to gather such great
friends and for continuously pushing us
forward to realizing our dreams. Thank
you IC, we salute to thee alma mater!”
