Bill and I traveled to Indiana University to meet with Jerry Slocum. Then the three of us and Jillian Hinchcliffe and a world renowned professor who is an expert in Problem Solving in Mathematics Education met to discuss research in the area of puzzles and their benefits. It was a ground breaking meeting and it was extremely exciting. Jerry called it a "dream come true" and I was honoured to be a part of one of Jerry's dream. Wonderful news and exciting times!
Also that evening, Bill and I were guests of Jerry's at a wonderful dinner where Jerry was given a medal from the Friends of the Lily Library for his outstanding contributions. This was a high honour as Jerry is one of only two recipients of these medals that have ever been given out. I was so proud to be a part of this event. Congratulations Jerry!
