I got email this morning from Cindy Childress, and thought you'd like to hear her news:
"I am going to defend my dissertation tomorrow, so most likely by 5:30 your time, I will be Dr. Childress. Amazing, huh? I spent April 1-10 in the hospital with multiple blood clots in both lungs, which really hurt, and I'll be on blood thinner for the next 6 months at least.
The problem arose from a mixture of heredity (I have an aunt on my Dad's side who got clots beginning at age 26), birth control pills (I'd just been switched to one with a higher level of estrogen), and being off
my feet with a sprained ankle in Feb. Fortunately I was on health insurance--because I eloped in January with Jack Charles, whom I met in Lafayette. He's a petroleum engineer with Baker Oil Tools, and he's
currently based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; I will join him soon sometime in June, and his contract is for up to three years. I plan to write and try to get a teaching gig, but I haven't been able to worry about that
with all the health stuff anf dissertation stuff going on."
I will urge her to create a Poets For Human Rights activity after she settles in Malaysia.
There are still Vital Signs, eh?

Colleen, if you need any help figuring out logistics about getting to the Poetry Walk on Saturday, lemme know.
