Each quarter, Professor Bergstrom's TA's go on a weekend or day long retreat to his house. This gives the TA's a chance to
ride on his boat, wakeboard and do other water sports, and sample some of his wife Charli's wonderful cooking. Not only is
this a really fun experience, but it enables Professor Bergstrom and the TA's to develop a friendship with each other. Below
are a few pictures from the Winter 2002 TA Retreat. When you click on the images to see them larger, they will pop up in a new
window.

Karen, Diana, and Ben on Professor Bergstrom's paddleboat. He has many water toys including a Sea-Doo, wakeboard,
and waterskiis, but the TA's were too cold for most of those things.
