busy april, incoporation
Got back from a busy 48 hours in Austin, TX for the Assoc. for Asian American Studies conference. Had a wonderful time catching up with old friends and connecting with great new folks, eating ribs/breakfast tacos (delicious), and admiring the wildflowers on the freeway (thank you lady bird for championing highway beautification!). Then drove up to Columbus and gave a workshop on diversifying the academy with Spark, aka Asst. Professor Sarah Park…
Nice article on Don Nakanishi: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-tobar9-2010apr09,0,2015600,full.column

proud mama
Both the Ender and Hurley brothers report that they have made their mothers very proud.
Of Mama Hurley, John says: “This has really enhanced her brand out there at the independent-living community. People can’t believe she has two sons that are presidents of colleges.”
