my sister Grace's photo was on the front page of the Ann Arbor News yesterday...
lo rez pic taken by my smartphone, but you should be able to make her out in the center, wearing a hardhat. she's breaking ground for the new high school in Ann Arbor. (wow, i never made the front page. or any page, now that i think about it. way to go, Grace!)
wish i could have snapped a pic of the photo just below it - someone protesting the plight of the salamanders who are reportedly being displaced from their ancestral home by the new school (and who are being called, apparently by the less than tactful, "bugbait") holding a poster that reads: "bugbait!? so's yer mama." ouch! them's gigglin' words.
and no one should miss the article's closing quote from my dad. as my sister-in-law commented, he really knows how to capture a mood. a true example of an oratory master.

that was a pretty darn good picture of grace... she looked to be relishing the moment!
salamanders... hmm... gotta love ann arbor.
Thanks!! Well there were a few more intersting protestor signs too. they've all ready saved over 2,000 animals including salamanders.
thanks Don.
