The last we talked you were student of the month at BHS in May. What's happened in your life since then?
Well, I graduated! Then during my summer break I went to France with Ebenezer Mennonite Church for two great weeks. I absolutely would love to go back. I also worked my second year at Camp Roberts in Shawnee, which is a free Bible camp for inner city Lima kids. I then started to attend Ohio Northern University.

I don't know who owns the car (vanity plates are big in Montana - both my sabbatical sponsor and her husband have plates linked to their jobs). The Museum of the Rockies is famous for being the home of Jack Horner and the collection of dinosaur eggs and nests.
