UD‘s home – not just the place she lives now; the place she was raised – is practically the best place to live in the whole state. Maryland is the nation’s wealthiest state, so competition for best place to live must be pretty fierce…
Of course UD has always been proud of her town (as those of you who have been reading this blog a long time know). She ended up here at the age of nine because her mother, just returned from a year in Mill Hill, a charming British village near London, found in Garrett Park an approximation of what she’d grown to love in England. It didn’t hurt that all of GP’s streets are named after locations in the novels of Walter Scott.

Connecting the dots, I guess your father worked for a time at the National Institute for Medical Research, which is located in Mill Hill… a famous place in the annals of medicine.

Yes – he had a year-long fellowship there in immunology.

The experience of international travel is one of the bonus benefits that academic professionals give their children.

Absolutely. One of many bonuses.
