My mom and I went to see my Dad receive the Claire Pomeroy Award, for Medical Device Innovation at the Sacramento Med Tech Showcase last week. It was awesome!!
Claire Pomeroy is a vital energetic woman! She gave an invigorating speech about the Sacramento region's crucial and ever expanding role in Bio Medical research and clinical trials and all things medical! She controls a 1.2 Billion dollar budget! Damnnnnn! I was fucking inspired by this woman!
These are the four winners posing with Claire and the other panelists.
I have always thought of my Mother as the artist in my family, but the more I see my father's amazing work I realize that engineers are the ultimate utilitarian artists. I actually have two artists for parents!
My Dad's mom, Viola, wore this necklace every day of my life. I wore it to the award ceremony.
Inside is a photo of my grandpa, Albert and my great grandmother Olivia, who I was named after. I wanted us all to be there, because I know how incredibly proud they would all be!!
Dad,Thanks for being an inspiration.
Love,
Livy

ReplyDeleteYou hit the nail on the head!!!!! I've always been drawn to the high level of skill and creativity that an engineer needs to make their creation work. That's what inspires me, personally! Cheers to such a great family!
