The Scholarship and the Tuskegee Airman
Saturday night, Strix and I went to a Mensa meeting at the Marriott Pyramid in Albuquerque, where she was recognized for having won a national Mensa scholarship. Her winning essay beat out over 3,000 other entries! She got $1,000 and a free dinner.
I had to pay for mine.
They frequently get a speaker to come to their dinner meetings, and tonight the speaker was one of the original Tuskegee Airmen. If you don't know about the Tuskegee Airmen, follow the link; it's fascinating. He told us all about how he ended up in this famous air group in the Army Air Corps, and talked proudly of all of the missions they flew during WWII.
