Matthew!
September 22, 2023
We started a new era today: the Matthew lives in Davis and is working on his PhD in materials science era! Which means, we hope, that we will see a lot of him in the next 4-5 years, which may also mean we’ll see more of John and Maita, maybe Monica and Dror, maybe a lot more Frames coming and going.
Jim and I want to do for Matthew what Claire and Lisa have done for Peter: provide a local resource, local family, surrogate parents, home away from home, port in the storm. Expressed mathematically, using the law of proportions:
Kari & Jim : Matthew :: Claire & Lisa : Peter
(a statement of equality between two ratios)
We think of Matthew as our nephew, but in reality he’s our first cousin once removed (son of Jim’s first cousin). Whatever he is, it’s family and we’re here for it.
Here’s dinner tonight:
