Got an email from my dad, telling me to look here. Oh, look, he's on that list of . . . of . . . of what, exactly? What does this group do? He says, "Pat each other on the back, mostly. [Wink] "

But I decided it was cool enough to brag about anyway. I think.

That's amazingly cool, Rivka! Your dad is in the company of amazing people like
quote:
Nobel Prize-winning physicist Eric Cornell of the University of Colorado; Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist; Steven Squyres, leader of NASA’s Rover program for the exploration of Mars; .... Academy Award-winning actor and director Sidney Poitier; .... journalist Tom Brokaw; .... Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page; Time, Inc., CEO Ann Moore; architect, sculptor, and designer of the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial in Washington, Maya Lin ....
That is definitely something to brag about.

But....

sculptor and painter Jeff Koons
.... I'd leave that one out in polite conversation if I were you. [Wink]

Honestly, though, this is way cool. And I even know which one is your Dad because I know your last name. [Evil Laugh]

That's great, Rivka! Congratulations to your dad!

You should go along to one of the back-patting banquets. I bet you could meet some cool and interesting artists and intellectuals there.

Annie, the gentleman who shares my (current) last name is NOT my dad. My dad is the one from the California Institute of Technology.

I gather I should know who that sculptor fellow is. Explain to culturally-illiterate moi who that is, please? [Dont Know]

Actually, my dad won't even be going to the back-patting banquet -- it's on a Saturday.
