Back to Virginia

Nine years ago, when Andrew entered a doctoral program at the University of Virginia, only God knew that his work would one day lead our family just over the Blue Ridge Mountains to a job at my alma mater, James Madison University. Yesterday he accepted an offer from JMU to begin work this Fall as a professor of U.S. history. We're grateful to have found such a good job in such a bad job market and thrilled to be moving closer to our friends in central Virginia. As you can see, even Katie is happy about the move. She's already started wearing JMU apparel and palling around with JMU's mascot, the Duke Dog.


Go Dukes!
