Doors opening every which way...

Book your tickets to France at the end of 2010 thru 2011, because B and I will be calling Paris home. Is this real? Is this really happening?

Hannah,
I have acceptance from NR for you to join the Engineering Services business (project management and business development) starting September 2010. This will be part of the IPX program, which is a natural progression from Voyager for those who want to gain experience outside of the purely technical organization. If you accept this assignment, you will be transferred to Alan Thomas's product line in September 2010 and begin your Ex-Pat assignment when you are ready, probably after the Christmas break. Both the French and German colleagues have agreed to your assignment, so you can choose between Erlangen and Paris. If I recall, you expressed an interest in Paris but please confirm your choice.
Regards,
GMM

It's is hard not to feel undeserving when I have worked with young professionals like LeAnne Bock and Taylor Smith (who is in a league of his own in my book). I guess this just goes to prove the importance of opportunity, timing, and initiative. Talent is a determining factor, but nothing can take the place of persistence and opportunity. I believe my appreciation and gratitude will motivate me to continue to work harder and more efficiently. I owe AREVA and the voyager program a lot.

Camping last weekend was a blast! Griff joined us, as did Butch's friend John Fields (aka MANGO). Goose and Keanu (Griff's golden retriever) kept us up until all hours of the night and were ready to play at 500am every morning.
