She was awarded the Millipore Foundation merit scholarship, which totals $20K over four years and is only given to two college bound students of parents who work at Millipore Corp. Joe writes, "Siena was the first to ever win from my plant in Jaffrey, NH. So I am a star at work! I tried to talk her into Trinity, but she thinks most of my ideas are weird. She's a great kid though, despite her college choices." , Chet Derr adds, "The house is too quiet, as we are now officially "empty-nesters" (with a secret desire that they come home soon and often). Emily is a freshman at Cornell and Jon (who many may remember has Down syndrome) is living independently, two hours from us, on the Cape and working at the local YMCA, having finished a post-graduate program at Cape Cod Community College. We are proud of them both. I am still with General Electric Corp.;JoAnn is the exec at a nonprofit and just completed her term as president of the National Down Syndrome Congress.
