Saturday in Richmond...

This will be perhaps the last time I see my youngest sister, Rachel, as an amateur dancer, as she performs in the Spring Student/Faculty Concert at Virginia Commonwealth University's Grace Street Theatre. She graduates in May and has already landed a performing "job" with a company in Richmond. If you would like to see a picture of her in action, visit VCU's Dance Department (she's the one in the air).

It is pretty amazing to think about a sibling you remember being born while you were in grade school reaching this point in her life. Rachel did not follow the path Martha and I set in life, choosing to go her own way. So far, she looks to be pretty successful. I honestly had a great deal of apprehension when she chose to study dance, and even more when she chose to go to school in Richmond, a place that is by no means friendly or safe. However, we are now at the point where she is proving herself effectively, and I am very proud of her.
