In this photo from the front page of today’s Latrobe Bulletin, my daughter explains her “Endangered Art” science project for the judges. She created numerous identical paintings, kept a control in a safe place, and exposed the others to various threats (sunlight, temperature change, the grubby fingers of children).

According to the judges’ score sheets, Carolyn earned a perfect score in every category. Here she is holding her age group’s “Best Display” trophy.
