One of the highlights on my Thanksgiving weekend trip to the Washington D.C. area was the Search for the Mick Brick! My brother Mick graduated a few years ago from The George Washington University, located in the heart of D.C., just 2 blocks from the White House. As a reward for graduation, he purchased for a small fee a paver brick with his name carved into it. He moved away from the D.C. area before he defended his dissertation and so he had never seen his brick but that status was about to change -- the hunt was on!We arrived at campus and went to the court yard and immediately began to see hundreds and hundreds of named bricks. Where was Mick's? They were arranged by year of graduation, but Mick was not certain in what year he technically graduated.

| George himself stands as sentinel over our noble quest for the Mick Brick! |

| Eureka! Mick and his Brick! |

| Christina and Maria make an etching of the hard-earned Brick. |

| The whole family celebrates The Brick! Very fitting since they all helped Mick earn it! |

| Congratulations, Mick and family! |
