On Tuesday, my mom, my sister and I were three of the many (200+?) people applauding at the ceremony where my dad received a lifetime acheivement award. Seriously! He was honored during an annual peer program review with international attendance for the Department of Energy's Superconductivity Program. It's just amazingly gratifying that his colleagues of so many years are acknowledging the wonderful advances that he's made for the program and are thanking him for his hard work along the way. There's more information about my dad and this award here.Dad, I know you read my blog. Congratulations!!! You have done amazing things with your career and your life. I am glad that I was able to participate in many of them and learn from you. I love you and I am proud to be your daughter.
I hope you are enjoying your retirement!
You’ve always been a wonderful daughter and it’s a pleasure now to see you happily married with two beautiful children – and living nearby! I’ve tried to share my life with you and appreciate your attending events that must have seemed boring. Having you there was important to me. Love always, Dad
