Rich Blaustein writes, “I’ve been super busy lately working on our latest venture, www.smartchoicepantry.com , an online food ordering software platform for food pantries, expanding access to food for those in need who are homebound or wouldn’t otherwise be able to visit a food pantry in person, and giving clients the ability to choose the food they want on their own terms. During my free time, my wife, Keri, and I are acclimating to life as empty nesters, traveling back to South Florida on a much more frequent basis, so it would be great to reconnect with old RE classmates … Please reach out and say hi!” Rich attended his Penn reunion last spring and saw RE class- mate Heidi Howard Tandy.
