Introducing Doctor Jo!


This is a picture of friend, Jeananne when she was my neighbor at school.....although she is still my neighbor down the street. She is a great teacher, mother/step mother, grandmother and wife. She is able to keep more balls in the air than any juggler I've seen. It is just great she is able to add this accomplishment to her long list. It must be a great relief not to have to make time to write and edit her thesis any longer!!




Pure determination and single mindedness is what is needed when entering a doctoral program. If you are brave enough to tackle all the research, presentations, and class work you are also going to need to be patient and also be persistent. I knew there is a lot of course work to go through, but all the other hoops doctoral candidates have to jump through are numerous. This is not to mention the DISSERTATION! That takes so many hours. Sometimes it is tough getting all the ducks in a row. But it all pays off in the end.



Jeananne (aka Jo) has worked very hard and emerged victorious and will soon have her much sought after diploma in hand. I know she must feel a huge sense of satisfaction and pride. It is well deserved. I know all she has gone through...........so if you see her tell her:

Congratulations!!!!!!
Doctor Jo!!!!!!
