On our way to Cookeville, we descended down into Sequatchie Valley:



And went up Cagle Mountain:



And of course the main pictures to see, David and his award! Congratulations to David-we are so proud of your accomplishments and academic success!

Earth Science Winners

David with Award Certificate

50 students honored from 10 departments of the College of Arts and Sciences

Gordonsville Mine Paper

My son David is now an upperclassman in college and a student and a teaching assistant in the Department of Earth Sciences.  He recently completed a huge mid-term project for Geology 4200 about the Gordonville's mine complete with several pages of hand-drawn section of cores and cross-sections of mining, and prediction of where to drill cores for future mining.  Pretty impressive. And a well-written paper. The entire mid-term project got an A.

Drag Idolatry

So proud of my daughter for tackling the tougher newspaper assignments. Pictured is her article on the campus Drag Idol based something like American Idol. She and the photographer got the entire Features page for this effort!
