For the past two years, Dad has been working on editing and rewriting a book on reconstructive breast surgery. And he finally finished and published it this spring! It's an enormous accomplishment and contribution to the medical community and we're so proud of him. Last night we attended a reception held in his honor, at the medical school here in Peoria. It was a really special evening; several people spoke, including the Dean of the Medical School, the Chief of Surgery at the hospital Dad works at, and a visiting professor, one of Dad's colleagues from Duke University. They all spoke so highly of Dad and his work and made us very proud!

Jack and Nana (thankfully, he behaved himself beautifully: he slept most of the time and smiled at everybody the rest of the evening!)
