Dr. Livingstone, I presume??

I can't tell you how many times people have said this to either John or I, and now it is TRUE! One of the greatest milestones in the last 10 years was accomplished today, by our very own Dr. Livingstone! John defended his dissertation today and his committee accepted it and passed him and now we have a Doctor in our family! He has gone as far in his educational career as he can go and we are so proud of him for his hard work and determination. Although he has now completed everything he can for school, he will officially graduate in April and we're excited to experience that and have a BIG celebration! CONGRATULATIONS, DR. LIVINGSTONE!
