For those of you unfamiliar with Rice University, I refer you to the following Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_University I worked there for almost 10 years and Mom (Ma Power, to those of you who remember) worked there longer. It's a wonderful place to work. It's been called the Harvard of the Southwest. It's one of the most prestigious schools in Texas and recruits more than it's fair share of valedictorians from Texas high schools. Louise
