David Maxwell Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 ...but many, many things have been happening in my life. Most significantly, my incredible daughter, Danica, is graduating from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo this June. She finished top in her class and was awarded the University of California Distinguished Ph.D. Fellowship. Therefore, she will be continuing on next year at UC Davis which has the top program in the nation for her major which is Entomology (study of insects) and Integrated Pest Mgt. We're extremely proud and will have to miss the National Meet in Oregon, but for a very worthy cause. Pretty soon I'll have to call my daughter Dr. Maxwell lol.

pflaming Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 David, the fruit never falls far from the tree! CONGRADULATIONS to all. I have two sons, one very successful the other still struggling but now gaining, an acquaintance last summer reminded me that I could not take all the credit for one, nor all the blame for the other. That puts it all into perspective. Enjoy UC Davis, there is a GREAT truck museum nearby in Woodland, check it out and send us some pics.

David Maxwell Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 ...which of course belong to my daughter. Yes, Davis is great! I used to live in Chico and competed against Davis when I played on the Volleyball team. Love the whole area from Sacramento to the Oregon border. Beautiful country and I love the heat!!! I will definitely be visiting every chance I get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Hey David, Santa Maria is a great place too. I love the Salinas Valley and south. Go to Jocko's and have a steak for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingster Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Yes, Congratulations to your daughter & you and your wife. I have a nineteen year old daughter who is also a 4.0 in college and I can readily relate to your pride in your daughter. Daughters are special. You must have raised her very well. I am facing my daughter leaving the house in the fall and going away to a college and it hurts. My wife and I are very close to her and it's tough after 19 years of the three of us being together. I'm sad at her leaving but know she has to go. And it marks a chapter ending in my life and a new one beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
