We’re waiting on a group picture from lunch at the Miracle – but here are some pictures collected from Jeannette’s last days in the Essigmann Lab at MIT.
Now with Deyu!

We had a great Thanksgiving keeping our tradition of joining Pastor John and Suzanne at their house for dinner. (We brought Grandma Brown’s green bean casserole and Mama Judi’s Pumpkin Dessert!) We are thankful for our family and dear friends, health, our happy little life in our cute little apartment, our employment and our freedoms (and our sports teams, too!).
Tonight we revisited our old haunts and were the guest judges for the annual TNKarving at MIT‘s Baker House. We had a good time catching up with the House Masters and GRTs and talking with students.

See that Mile 19 sign? Across the road? I think the marker is right – it is not on the walk route though…
The Swan Boats in the Public Garden!
Almost there!
And we made it!!!
We did it! 20 more miles. And you did it! Together, the Fiala friends & family raised $1300 to fight hunger. Thank you so much for rallying together with us in our efforts. And our team raised over $6750!
“The opposite of hungry isn’t full; the opposite of hungry is healthy.” -Ellen Parker
Because of your kindness we made our goal raising $1000 to fight hunger.
As most of you are aware, fighting the hunger problem in America is an effort we have chosen to support every year and one we believe is an important way we can actively participate in bettering our community.
As the state’s leading antihunger organization, Project Bread is dedicated to alleviating, preventing, and ultimately ending hunger in Massachusetts. In addition to organizing the annual Walk for Hunger and supporting emergency food programs statewide, Project Bread also advocates systematic solutions that prevent hunger in children and that provide food to families in everyday settings.
Your donation went a long way!
Project Bread fights hunger and advocates change in the community in which we live. It is an organization we believe in and choose to support year after year. We thank you for your support and solidarity in fighting hunger.
To everyone who supports the fight against hunger,
Thank you,
Jeannette and Josh
