I already noted that one of my former vanquished debate opponents later went on to become a Rhodes Scholar. With this year's list out, I see at least two more debaters from my own era on the circuit have also attained that illustrious award. Stephanie Bell (Univ. of Chicago '08) competed in LD, so I only knew of her back when I was competing (though I met her post-graduation -- she was very nice). But Eva Lam (Harvard '10) and I were quite close as she came up through the ranks -- indeed, I remember her from her very first Harvard tournament! My, how they grow.
In any event, congratulations to both!

Midwest, represent. This is awesome news, thanks for sharing it :-)
So clearly this is very late, but reading this post on my overwhelmed google reader made my day. Not only are you connected by one degree to two Rhodes kids - you are actually connected to 100% of the winners in our district (Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin). So yeah. Be proud.
I am proud. Keep up the fabulous work, and try to make time for us mortals as you keep rising to ever-greater heights.
