I was very fortunate to be chosen as one of the Wanda Chin Scholarship recipients in 2011.

I was watching the 123rd annual Rose Parade, January 2, 2012 in Pasadena, CA – one of the brightest and warmest Rose Parade days anyone seems to remember. And if that isn’t remarkable enough, among the marching bands, surfing dogs, equestrian units and gigantic flower bedecked displays of commercial and civic pride, there was a museum float! Ok, yes, it’s disguised as a...
