AGGIE MOM BRAGS
 Shana
Michelle Gould '04, was married on July 5, 2003 to Patrick Baldwin
who was a May 2003 graduate from A&M. Shana is an elementary
major.
Nathan
Stewart '99, (son of Aggie Mom Pamela Stewart) is working
in Dallas as an account executive for The Richards Group, a major
advertising agency. However, as a freshman A&M student in 1995,
his roommate, James Robb, taught Nathan how to play the guitar
and Nathan fell "in love" with it. That love affair has
endured, and last weekend he opened at Deep Ellem (sp?) at Adair's,
a popular local "College Station" type bar that boasts
lots of live music. He now sings, plays, and writes all of his
own music. Thanks to all of the Dallas Aggies (many of them former
San Angeloans) who showed up to cheer him on! He appreciated your
being there. (Needless to say, his Mom and Dad were there in the
front row! It was great!)

and couldn't ask for better coworkers, he says. Now if the Astros

Terry O'Connell from Madison, Conn., wanted to share the following
story that he found amusing. Terry is an adopted member of our
club. “My son David is entering his second year at TAMU.
We live in Connecticut. David has been working as a grocery checker
for a local supermarket chain. This job had afforded him the
opportunity to meet many people. One day a man came through his
line and was wearing a Texas A & M baseball cap. David told
him he goes to college there. The man replied (horrors) a Longhorn.
David restrained himself and replied, ‘Those are fighting
words at A&M. We're Aggies.’ I just thought you would
enjoy that little story.”
Aggie Mom Kathy Vinson reports that Matt Vinson '03 (returning
for his 5th year "victory lap" to graduate in May 04)

In 1994 Aggie Moms saw a need to help new moms through the transition
when their children leave home for college. Thjis camp provides
an opportunity to spen time with other moms who are experiencing
that same adjustment to the empty next plus a chancer to learn
more about the university their child has chosen. There are workshops,
campus tours, meals, and lots of bonding with both “new” and “experienced” Aggie
Moms.
