What my cousin did last summer

I last talked to her years ago at a wedding, about the work she had been doing then in Mozambique. I was thinking about her yesterday, so I did a quick Web search and found a story from the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer that originally aired last July 3rd.
I clicked the "Streaming Video" link and there she was — my cousin, Christine Jost, a United Nations expert tracking bird flu in Indonesia and teaching the villagers of Cilangkap how to contain it.
Am I choked up with pride? Li'l bit.
