Val''s DeBeers Diamond paper gets perfect score!

[Todd Gray]

So I guess that we shouldn''t be all that surprised by this, but the paper which my fiance Valerie turned in for her micro economics class on DeBeers and the Diamond Trading Company (DTC) got a perfect score, 200 out of 200! The paper was rated 1 of 3 with a perfect content rating by the instructor who happens to be a critical fan of the DeBeers operating concept, but who had been driving Valerie nuts due to his reference of data from outdated sources - I did finally manage to convince her to stop correcting the poor guy during class!

Anyway, paper turned in last week, returned today with perfect score and the comment "where the heck did you get this information?!?!" and "how did you have access to this type of information?!?!" along with "Wow!" then came the explanation of being engaged to "a diamond guy" and the realization of "ah, updated info on DeBeers!"

Final score in Micro Economics = 104% and well, I just felt like bragging about it.

Having met Valerie I'm not surprised.

You and I are both blessed with beautiful ladies who are bright-minded and strong in judgment...minus that blind spot where taste in men didn't develop.

Pass on my congrats and well-wishes.

LOL! I was just going to say something along the same lines. Mine has been married to me for so long that even though she now realizes her mistake she is too comfortable to change it...

Give my good wishes and congratulations to the lovely Valerie.

No kidding, right? I don''t even want to know how the women in our lives manage to overlook our shortcomings and deal with the whirlwind which is our full time business lives! "Honey ''X'' happens to be in town and is coming over..." or "uh, the dinner party we''re throwing at a friends house tonight just increased from 8 people to 25" and she always manages to pull it off!
