Happy Birthday, Rachel Beatty! Rachel is my niece (-in-law), married to Matt Lang. Two years ago she chose my legal pad tie for this occasion, so it's a repeat. Rachel teaches English grammar and composition classes at Western Carolina University and Haywood Community College. I note happily that one year ago she was changing jobs from Michael's (crafts) to National/Alamo (car rentals), so she is again using her academic skills! Today is also National Bobblehead Day.
