Deo gratias, indeed, Fred! Love that she's a Latin scholar as well as a math whiz. So what did she win the English award for? Was there a competition that she entered with a particular writing project? Sounds fascinating! The TLM is amazing (and now terrorist, I guess hahahahaha), we love it!

No competition - the University simply chooses those whose work in English (my daughter though not an English major took many English literature courses along with her degree field) went above and beyond.
It was a complete surprise to all - including her! She's a real Renaissance woman, a star college athlete who now coaches competitive volleyball and who is going on to Architecture school next year.
You SHOULD be proud! I pray she becomes an architect who designs with beauty in mind, rather than just utility as most do today. We need beautiful buildings.
Well, I *can* say that she has been deeply influenced by the architect Thomas Gordon Smith and his work on Our Lady of the Annunciation of Clear Creek Abbey in Eastern Oklahoma.
That, and the fact that her former attorney father advocates making the erection of a metal building at least a misdemeanor, (2nd offense felony with jail time.) LOL
I just looked it up, Fred. Beautiful! Hillsdale built a chapel a few years ago designed by Duncan Stroik. I think your daughter might like his style too.

I'm slightly proud.

Amen, sister!
Bonum, verum, pulchrum - the motto of my daughter's Augustinian preparatory school.

Haha That’s beautiful, Fred. Please, for me, give your beautiful daughter my love. We will pray for you and your family tonight.
