Daughter’s defense
Daughter did a great job defending her Senior paper on materials used in the Abiocor® replacement heart. We were a small crowd but she kept us on the edge of our seats with clear explanations and a super overhead presentation. Her guiding instructor was very much with her every minute of the presentation, but the “outside expert” played the devil’s advocate asking some tough questions (and several that were off subject) but Daughter took a deep breath, brushed back her hair, and gave a logical and clear defense of her 30 page paper.
I had the camera ready for the moment, then realized that the thing won’t function WITHOUT BATTERIES. My heart failed me.
Now we wait for the results… Hearts racing, of course.

I leave for Burundi tonight. We covet your prayers. I may be able to post once or twice, so don’t give up on Evendays.

“Been there and haven’t taken that,” as in pictures. That is bad feeling when the camera won’t work.
Congrats to daughter on her Senior Paper. Steven’s school calls it the “Senior Experience.” The “SE” requires a paper and project of which his will be producing a C.D. that his writing songs for and singing on.
Schools that require the SE also are given grant money which is usually the driving force in “education reform.”
Have a safe trip to Burundi.

P.S. Brady: I’ve sent you a couple of e-mails this week that have come back undeliverable. Has your e-mail address changed?

That’s impressive! But it looks like something Randy put in his microwave.

I’m amazed and impressed. I teach high-level students who are part of our Doctor’s Academy here. I’m sure THEY would have understood her presentation.
Prayers and blessings on your upcoming journey.
