| My little sister, Caroline, is a world class rower. She graduated from Princeton University in May 2006 and now lives in Princeton and trains with the United States national team. See Caroline's world rowing bio. In addition to her training, Caroline is in her second year of an MBA program at Rider University. Can you tell that I'm proud of her?? |
