Brad and his Dad

This photo and an article were in a UVSC publication recently.  I sent the email around to family but a friend just asked why it hadn't been on the blog.  Great idea!  Thanks Karen.  (These guys really do smile a lot of the time..Don't know why they look so glum in this photo.)

The article talked about the history of UV and it attaining university status and the thoughts these two former employees had on the issue.  The car in the photo is one that Gil restored as part of his hobby.

Cairo Meets the Princess of Sweden

A real-life princess.  Cairo was so lucky today to be able to meet a real princess.  Princess Victoria will become Queen of Sweden.  The first female monarch of Sweden in over 200 years.  Princess Victoria visited Brad's campus today and Brad made arrangements to have Cairo there to meet her in person.  

Cairo waiting patiently in Brad's office.

A gift from the Princess.

Cairo was thrilled to receive a special gift from Princess Victoria. It is a charm for a mobile phone.  It has beautiful crystals on it and came in a box labeled, "The Royal Palace Stockholm."

You will notice a book behind Cairo on the chair.  It is a book she has called Princess Treasury.  Princess Victoria is pictured in it with a paragraph about her life.  Cairo took the book to show the Princess that Cairo already felt like she knew her.  The Princess was amazed that she was in the book and especially that Cairo had the book there to show her.  Cairo asked her to sign the page in the book but she said she wasn't able to sign things...She gave her this special gift and treated her so sweetly.  Cairo said it wasn't just a great day "It was FANTASTIC!"
