WE HAVE A WINNER! Jan Tompkins, director of the SAHP Office of Distance Education, correctly identified my location on campus: the entrance to the Lied Transplant Center opposite the Bennett Hall courtyard. Congratulations, Jan. The Elephanto trophy is yours for a week (or two). Thanks to those who tried earlier. It does sort of look like Swanson, but I think the path is the give-away.
