Serendipidous Quote from Some Guy*

"They're a rare combination of intelligent, extremely hard working, ambitious and tenacious.  They demonstrated throughout the project that they're willing to get to extra lengths to make it right."




















*identity and source revealed upon request
PS - phrasing "get to extra lengths" seems strange.  "...go to..."?  Anyway, glad i found this little gem and am channelling it somewhat.

ok, I am requesting!

also, the picture of the girls from the '50s is awesome. It looks like it might date farther back, though?

PSU Vanguard - Mark Faust, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering - A comment in an article about the Vietnamese Scholars Program @ PSU through Intel and the students' design win.

Yeah, the book was published in the 50s, and so the photograph probably is older than that. Why exactly did you think it was older? It looks to me like they are in Japan?

I don't think it looks like they are necessarily IN Japan, but the dress (kimono-like) and hairstyle (bowl cut??) looks Japanese to me.

Photograph looks like '30s era to me, like great depression times?
