Up until the last few weeks, I worked with a very intelligent Chinese lady named Ya. She has a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and did much to make the machine on which we are all working succeed. She is married to a man who works in New York, so when she got a job offer up there, she took the job. We were very sorry to see her go because, beside being very smart, she was very nice and a fun person with whom to work. The person who took her place is one of Ya’s friends from college. She is another Chinese lady with a Ph.D. in electrical engineering. Her name is Yuting and she is also very smart, nice, and fun. She has a beautiful little daughter and a husband who recently traveled to China on business. When he returned, he brought back a commemorative paper lantern made for the 2008 Olympic games which will be in Beijing later this summer. Christian, Lorena, and I had a great time putting it together last night. Christian is going to hang it in his room. Thank you, Yuting!
