(This is totally off topic, but many of you have met Margarete at trade shows and in other arenas, and have been following the long saga of her quest for a doctorate, so it's easier to tell the world than send individual notes to all of the interested parties. )
We at Sine Nomine are pleased (and very proud) to announce that Margarete Ziemer (our CEO, and who, being very smart and talented, and despite my numerous faults, still ad mits that she married me) has successfully completed her doctoral dissertation and oral defence, and has been approved for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from Princeton Theological Seminary. We'd like to thank all the well-wishers and people who have encouraged her to keep plugging away, and have offered and provided support through the process. Please join me in congratulating her on a job well done. Congratulations, Dr. Ziemer! -- db David Boyes Sine Nomine Associates (PS -- now you can rescue some more kitties, M... 8-))
