Freddie & Fritz

If you read my blogs then you know that I've written about my brothers and sisters. I even wrote about a couple of projects my brother Larry has worked on in Southern California. The project on the left is one he worked on years ago in Venice California. The one of the right is the Alexian project he just wrapped up work on it short while ago. So I recently sent a note to my brother Fritz in Mercer Island Washington. I told him in the interest of equal time he'd better give me an update on what he's doing since my blog readers are craving this information. So finally he got back to me by e-mail the other day and the news is good.

Fritz let me know that his Lincoln Square project is a finalist for the 2007 International Design and Development Award. This is a picture of the project. It's pretty impressive. It's in the Pacific Northwest in that other Washington. Congrats to my brother and all the people who worked on this project for a job well done.

It's pretty impressive don't you agree? A few minutes later I heard from my little sister Patty. Her school Wiley Canyon Elementary in Newhall California is one of the National Blue Ribbon recipients. So her principal and one teacher will make the trip to Washington for the event. Hopefully she'll be the teacher. http://www.newhall.k12.ca.us/wiley/


It's a winning time in the family, just a short while ago I found out that a project I worked on has won a Freddie award. http://www.thefreddies.com/Awards/Results.aspx?CategoryId=26&Year=2007 I worked as a producer, writer, and moderator for a project at Michigan State University with the Michigan Victim's alliance. http://www.mivictims.org/ It was a unique program where people who've dealt with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder talked about their issues in front of Medical students at the University. It was an opportunity for the students to ask questions and learn more about these hidden psychological wounds. I'll accept the award in Philadelphia with a member of the Michigan Victim's Alliance. If you'd like to see a clip of the project that won the Freddie you can find it here. http://www.giftfromwithin.org/
