The Dissertation

For several years I worked diligently for beaucoup hours on nights and weekends assisting hubby on The Dissertation.  I learned about constructs, sampling sizes, constructural frameworks, relationships between variables, data analysis methodologies, test design, confounding variables, box plots, histograms and P-P plots. 

The result for hubby was a solid career doing something he always wanted to do - teaching college - with hopefully many more years of rewarding work ahead.

And for me?  I am the recipient of a handsome engraved plaque, one of the very nicest gifts I've ever received.  It reads:

EVELYN GOLD

for outstanding service

in support of her

husband Stuart Gold while

completing his doctorate

You've gone above and

beyond, given your best

and provided love

support and assistance

without which a PhD

would still be a dream and

not a reality for Dr. Gold
