Special Edition, News Round Up

I loved this story about how Walla Walla, WA took lemons and made WINE!  Yes, that's right, they are better than those folks who can make lemonade -- it is a wonderful story about how to take an economic punch and give back better than ever...and at the base of it is EDUCATION.

Not pictures of Walla Walla or vineyards ... but somewhat related.

It is bittersweet to learn of this woman only from her obituary ... but there is a joy in knowing that she existed ... RIP Dr. Gerda Lerner ... her story (and herstory, too) is inspirational for me at this moment.  I just want to get through the PhD right now, I am not that focused on what will come of it at the moment.  But, she is still a shining beacon for a student like me.

P.S. A friend sent this to me ... sharing with you even though it is not "news"
