Amity and I are very proud of our only daughter Kris. She is 42 and is Vice President of Onondaga Community College in Syracuse, New York. She is married and has two boys, Jack (13) and Sean (10). Onondaga Community College, under her direction has one of the highest annual grrowth enrollments in the country. She was recently interviewed by the New York Times about that success.

In addition to her job at the college, she attends as many of the boys ball games as possible, works out at the gym, she is in a PhD program in Rochester. She needs the PhD to advance to a Presidency in the future. IN addtion to all of that, she is fit, trim and beautiful.

Bear with me as I brag about my only 28 year old daughter I love so much.

She is very very smart. She went into a gifted program in 3rd grade. Been top of her class ever since. She graduated with honors from Cornell in Human Factors and Ergonomics Engineering. Received a fellowship from NIOSH funding her Masters and providing a salary. She is President of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. She has about 5 pages or titles of research on the internet... She picks her jobs and where she wants to live including California and New York City. Right now she lives on the North side of Chicago and is a consultent for US companies abroad.
Again, too many to name but she has worked in China, India, Spain, Sweden, France, Germany, Ireland on and on. She has even paid for her parents to see some of these countries.
But here is what makes me so proud. She gives all her spare time helping others. She spent 4 months in Ireland volunteering for the Irish Wheelchair Society's rehabiitation center. When she is in the US, she works for the Humane Society, food kitchens and others. I mean this girl will wash dishes by hand for hundreds for 4 months in Ireland spending her own money.

She is my best friend.
