Big Man on Campus

WWD has spent his mornings the past three weeks all the way downtown on campus at a program for gifted-and-talented sixth-graders-to-be. He's spent his mornings running all around the university campus, touring museums, taking classes in a variety of fields, getting snacks at the Union, and having fun with a few hundred kids from all over our part of the state. His core classes included "Architecture of the Ancient World," where they learned about ancient structures and built some models (see them in the pictures--his is Macchu Pichu, and he also built a Roman aqueduct); "Radio Drama," where they got on the air at the campus radio studio, and wrote and produced a radio play; and "The Human Body," which featured WWD's favorite day: Dissection! (A Chicken Wing...I said "Want to go to KFC for lunch?")

What a fantastic opportunity this has been! He had several friends attend, but mostly met new people, had a blast, and learned some really cool stuff. It has been a busy three weeks, and he's pretty worn out.

Next up: a week of Boy Scout camp! Go WWD!
