Undisputedly Proud

Post by Dale »

This is my eldest, Sarah, blowing out the candles on her 22nd birthday:

She just defended her undergraduate thesis. The 2 principal faculty members described it as the best theoretical thesis they had seen at the college in 25 years.

Sarah graduates on May 9.

Thank you for allowing me another shameless display of parental pride.

Congratulations, Dale and Sarah. I look forward to posting something similar in 19 years.

I assume she enjoyed doing her thesis. It was unquestionably the high point of my college days; it was so much more exciting than the day-in day-out stuff.

I'm very happy for your whole family. It's a great thing to celebrate family accomplishments. (My brother made bird colonel recently. We're not all pro-military etc, but, we're all happy for him.) I read the post to my wife, who's making me ask what was the thesis on?

Ok, I'll answer this question....and then I'll kick amar's ass.

Her thesis was on sociological theories pertaining to the fate of the "community." On the one hand are theorists that say that he world has changed in such a way as to be destroying "community." The other school of thought is that community is changing, not dying.

Except when she wrote about it, it sounded smart.

Congratulations Sarah and Dale.

Dale, that is smart. That topic, or a slightly different version of it, was kicked around by a couple of jurisprudence bods, Devlin and Hart, about 40 years ago, but it has to be revisited regularly.

Devlin and Hart: sounds like a concertina and fiddle duo from Dublin.
