Papa, we're proud...

of YOU!
Marty has been working on his
Masters of Applied Linguistics for 3 years
and is finally DONE!

Last week,
we headed up to UMass Boston
to celebrate by having dinner with the department.
Dorothy really went all out in her
red polka dot dress (thanks, Mary!).

I love seeing how Marty uses his
gift with language.
His ability to communicate with others
of all different cultures
has made his heart grow to a tremendous size
(kinda like the Grinch when he is through stealing Christmas).

He is an amazing teacher,
urging his students to learn the language
that will help them here,
but more importantly urging them to preserve their own
language and culture to share with others.

We sure are proud of you,
Papa man!
