John and Jeanie Snell took their grandsons from Seattle to Grandparents University at the University of Wisconsin, July 26 and 27. See http://www.uwalumni.com/home/learning/gpu/gpu.aspx. We stayed in Ogg Hall, a dormatory on Johnson Street near Park Street. Joshua, age 12, and John majored in Engineering, while Jeanie and Aaron, age 7, majored in Restoration Ecology. Here are some pictures.
 We designed a bridge with a computer program and then build it with tooth picks and hot melt glue. Josh is holding the hot melt glue gun. |
 He tested the bridge by hanging weights from the center of the bridge. |
 He also studied gear ratios and built a battery operated electric car. |
 Aaron examines some water for bugs. |

Sue and Phil Henderson send a picture of their son, Bill, who is a pilot in the Air Force. Here he pauses for a cup of coffee which he describes in an email to his parents:
"The green bean manager did talk me into getting a MOAC the other day before flying. It was a bit much. MOAC stands for mother of all coffees....4 shots of espresso with 24 ozs of their house coffee and all of the sugar flavoring you can handle. I got it straight up no additional sugar and sipped it for 4 hours. Not one yawn the whole flight."
Sue writes that Bill graduated from the University of Michigan, majoring in Aeronautical Engineering, but always wanted to fly. He joined the Air National Guard in Michigan and took flight training at Enid Air Force Base, Oklahoma and then flew F-16s during the Iraq war. then it was A10 Warthogs (disigned for close air support of ground troops), and recently KC 135 tankers for refueling bombers. He is stationed in Qatar, where this picture was taken He's a Lt. Colonel now, and up for promotion to Colonel.
The Wisconsin Alumni T shirt is a gift from Phil because it was too large for Phil. Just right for Bill.
Thanks for contributing, Sue and Phil. Nice story and you can be mighty proud of him.
Sue writes an update from Bill, September 23: Plane lost its altimeter and had to put down in Brunswick, Maine. Then, leaving England 2 days later an engine blew out on take-off, so had to abort take-off. How's that for an exciting life? Thanks for protecting us, Bill.
