This is my roommate from my masters' degree program, Edith James. We connected after 43 years! We had a lot to discuss, to say the least.
I took a day to tour the city, which had certainly changed since 1986, when I brought eighth graders here from Santa Rosa's 3R school. Here is the residence of President Obama and his family.
This is the assembly hall for the national conference. I think most of the big names in mathematics education were here. My own professor, Dr. Thomasenia Adams, had a featured role at NCSM and the presession.
There were 12,000 attendees.
Washington in the springtime is a beautiful place. It was nice to clear my mind, after all the recent reading and writing, hearing others talk helped me arrange my thoughts for the final sprint to finish the written exam.
The reflecting pond--to reflect on my career in mathematics, actually punctuated at beginning and end by a Washington trip. (a comma, not an end)
