    Melissa

    I congratulate you in your efforts to earn a Law Degree. What area of Law are you specializing in?

    I am daughter of Claude Grinage, who is son of Sarah Cogswell Grinage. Claude Grinage is first cousin to Trudie Lamb. During 1972 to 1982 I served as secretary to the Council of the Schaghticoke Tribe, when Ernie Harris was chief. I was a student at Harvard Graduate School of Education during that time. I graduated with my Ed.D. from Harvard and entered the field of Mathematics Education. I was hired on the faculty of the University of Alaska Fairbanks and worked with many Alaska Native students during my 14 years at UAF.

    I support your efforts and would like to participate on your blog.
