Congratulation to graduate Chang Chun Lu who earned a Master of Business Technology from Loyola University in May. His wife Qiong You and daughter, Lucy Lu are very proud of him.
Another recent graduate is Ron Gran P. Apilado who graduated from Rosalind Franklin University, formerly known as Chicago Medical College, in Waukegan.
Who is Rosalind Franklin and why is there a university named for her? You probably heard her name but forgot it; I did. She was the scientist who did the spadework for Watson and Crick who in turn discovered the human DNA double helix. Franklin’s research and discoveries made Watson and Crick’s discoveries possible.
Now that Ron has graduated, he and his fiancé Leslie Salvador are making final arrangements for their June 25 wedding in the Philippines.

The New Harvest Church is an active organization which warmly (to say the least) welcomes visitors to come and get acquainted. Every Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. there is a puppet show for the kids, lots of music, singing and fellowship. That’s Saint Peter’s Church, Adams Street & Hannah Avenue every Sunday afternoon. You don’t have to join their church, just come and enjoy the friendliness, sincerity and goodness of these really joyous people.
Sincere sympathy to Kathleen Moritz on the sudden death of her son Tanner Osbourne, last week.
