Naming Ceremony

For years, my grandpa has worked with the Yates Mill, a historic mill just a bit south of Raleigh NC.  He's put in a lot of work there, restoring the mill, creating a foundation to support it, starting and building an educational facility there where you can host camps, do research through NCSU, and bring school kids and everyone to learn more about how the mill worked and the history behind it.  He's been the President of the Board for a number of years, but has passed on that hat and in honor of all the work that's been done, they named a classroom at the facility after him!




 And then we went to dinner at the Faculty Club.

It was nicely fitting for him, especially the quote on the plaque: "head of a scientist with the heart of a historian!" Congrats Grandpa!
