THE GRINDSTAFF FAMILY

This is the beginning of the development of what will be the premier Grindstaff family blog spot. As all of you are aware Sam and Emily Grindstaff made their union for eternity in AD 2001. This family is one of the elite in the world. Conceit, I think not. Just a mere statement of fact that will resound in the eyes and ears of all those who read onward and pursue the meaning of what it is to belong to the Sam and Emily Grindstaff family.

The characters are few, but we do have a whopping good time.

First there is Sam, A lieutenant in the United States Army. Currently attending the Uniformed Services University medical school in Bethesda MD. He is currently in his 3rd year of training to become a doctor of medicine. He is an esteemed graduate of Snow College and Brigham Young University. He made a name for himself in the laboratory of Dr Breakwell where he did groundbreaking work in the study of microbial flora in the soil in specially protected enclosures in the Manti Lasalle National Forest. He used DGGE technology to show specific differences between microbial flora between the enclosures and the surrounding area. This research was presented as a poster at the 2003 national meeting for the American Society of Microbiologist in Washington DC.

The second player is Emily Grindstaff. She is an esteemed graduate of Snow College, attaining an associates of arts and MRS degrees. She became a mother in 2002 and again in 2004. She stays at home with her two brilliant children. She happens to be drop dead gorgeous besides. She hails from Moroni Utah and enjoys traveling throughout the United States. She also has the ability to make Mozart flow from the ivory keys of our piano. The music she produces is at such a caliber that even our neighbors complement her on her performances. She holds a public performance weekly at our local church where she entertains the children with her magic.

Caleb Grindstaff is a mere 4 years old and yet he is starting to read, he can count to 100. He also has an interest in creatures great and small. He has studied the life cycle of the common honey bee and enjoys the study of arachnids as well. He will be starting his educational career at a local elementary school in the fall where his studies will include advanced training in reading, writing and arithmetic. He will also enjoy producing extensive pieces of art that are of the same caliber as Jackson Pollock. His curiosity has led to personal injury at times but he is still upbeat.

Charlotte Grindstaff is celebrating her third birthday and is beginning to make advances in language. She is also astute at studying the aspects of electromagnetic radiation within the visible spectrum especially wavelengths of ~650 nm and ~400 nm. She also is studying geometry and especially likes abstract shapes such as hearts and stars.
