Marina has taken a term off from school to stay in Framingham and help Luciana and me get from where we are to where we are going, and we would be completely lost without her!
Yesterday I went to work, and Marina drove Luciana into Boston to Tufts Medical Center. Helped her pack, put her in the Jeep, and got her to the hospital, helped her in. Insisted that the staff get a wheelchair for Luciana so she wouldn't walk through the garage and down the hallways. She is thinking of so many things.
And -- she got the news Friday that she won another scholarship from Dartmouth. She is her second! "It is my pleasure to inform you that you have been selected to receive a second endowed scholarship this year, one of Dartmouth's Kenneth H. and Ruth K. Murray 1927 Scholarships... the late Mr. Murray, a noted alumnus of the Calss of 1927, established this fund. He received his law degree from Columbia University and spent six years practicing law in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil... This honor is bestowed only on Dartmouth's most outstanding students. Your personal and academic achievements demonstrate that you have the potential and promise to make a significant contribution at Dartmouth.... Congratualtions on this fine honor and recognition!"
Awesome!
