Holly completed the second-to-last major requirement to graduation today... Officially completing her dissertation by passing her oral defense.
Holly picked a wonderful day to defend her dissertation... our anniversary. Now we will always have 2 reasons to celebrate June 26th!
Why is this day a big deal? Well, even though she has her internship (1-year) starting in August (yes, she still walks in June '07), Holly says that "People fail their defense... No one fails internships". So... I think we can call this one officially "in the bag".
Send Holly your congratulations. She no doubt deserves it after all of the hard work over the past 5 years. Today is truly a crowning achievement in her career and one that I am very proud of. It takes a special person to become a PhD, and Holly is no doubt deserving in every single way. I love you dear!!!

Congratulations Dr. Chalk !!! What an awesome accomplishment! There are no words to express how very proud of you we are. You have worked so hard to achieve this. When you look in the mirror tomorrow morning, if you can't figure out why you look even better than usual, its that glowing smile of pride and relief. Keep it on your face forever.
Love, Mom and Richard
