...romance began in a slightly sketchy, albeit familiar, way. On his brother’s advice, J. Andy Tau ’07 was trolling through the freshman facebook looking for beautiful women when he came across the picture of Jocelyn D. Hsu ’07. “And what do you know,” Tau, a Houston native, remembers. “The most beautiful girl in there was Asian, from Texas, and I had already met her doing dorm crew, so it was perfect.” The couple is getting married on July...
