Congratulations to Jodi

Hello Family!

This blog entry is to celebrate the academic accomplishments of Dr. Jodi Eastberg.

Jodi - congratulations on your achievement. I am very proud of you. I wish I could be in Milwaukee for your graduation. It sounds like I missed a good party.

I have compiled a list of teachers that probably helped form you into the person you are today. Here goes:

1) mom & dad - listing the obvious ones first. Without them, you would not be here. Literally.
2) Ms. Updike - did you have her as a pre-school teacher in DeSoto? Did you run away from school? Who would have thought while fleeing pre-school, you would never want to leave. How old are you now? 32? So it took 26 years, but you are now ready to flee school again... at least the learning-part of school (not the teaching-part).
3) Ms. Flynn - did you have Ms. Flynn at St. Pat's?
4) Ms. Chauncey - again, a St. Pat's teacher I can not remember if you had her.
5) Sister Margarite - math. Say no more.
6) Miss Dowd - one of the most positive influences of your time at Bishop Ward
7) Miss Lane - see above
8) Insert Salpointe teacher here... sorry, I was not with you for those years
9) Insert Saint Louis University professor here... again, I completely missed these years of your life
10) Insert Marquette professor here... I now realize that you became much more studious when I did not live with you. Unrelated? I think not.

Congratulations. Quick, look studious for the family blog:
