So my dad is in this funny portrait in the School of Public Health. I think it was for an anniversary for the school and they got all the past deans and him, the current dean, together to sit for this absurd and stodgy painting, which I know just makes him gag.
(This is academia, remember, where people call him Dean So-and-so and when I come around they say, Oh you must me Dean So-and-so's daughter. My dad just humbly wants to be treated like a human and called by his first name.)
So since one of my girlfriends works a few floors up, she recently took me to the conference room where this masterpiece hangs. Of course Pops would never show this off. After giggling hysterically and being generally incredulous that this is my dad, we thought it fitting to take a picture of me alongside the serious-looking academics. (Truth be told, I am unspeakably proud of him.)
This, friends, is my best dean face.
