Hello Everyone!
I wanted to take a moment and say thanks to those of you who have offered me a kind word or encouragement over the past year or two. On Saturday, I successfully defended my Doctoral Dissertation. This experience was a tremendous strain on my family and I am thankful that we made it through to the end and still were able to stay together as a family. For those of you who have gone through a PhD program, I am sure that you can understand the stress, strain, and amount of time necessary to complete one. There were some days when the most uplifting things I heard or read came from this site. While you are still real world strangers, I wanted to thank you for being my internet family/ friends/ support system.
Now I hope to find a better paying job in the near future, and enjoy my wife, son, and my Donaldson "Hugs and Kisses" Ukulele, which has been horribly neglected for the past few months.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Mendelson, Ph.D.
