Goodbye: Cindy Eaton

Cindy is from Lilly's plant in Lafayette, who was sent to Fegersheim on a short term assignment to help out with training. So she was on the GBIP project, but we just adopted her instead.

The first couple of weeks were a little tough, I think, because she was living in the white collar prison hotel (otherwise known as the Citadine), and then moved to a hotel, because at least it had air conditioning. So basically no kitchen, but under 95 degree ambient temperature - I suppose you need to weigh the pro's and con's. Regardless that meant she had to feel the full brunt of Alsatian cooking all at once. Weber didn't help either, since he seemed to order pig knuckles and God knows what else.

After she got her house, I think she settled in much better; so she totally gets the award for bridging the most cultural distance - Strasbourg is a lot farther away from Tippe than it is from Indy.
