Newspaper Star

Who would have guessed I would ever marry someone famous?!

A few weeks ago Grady casually mentioned to me that he had been interviewed by a reporter at work that day--something about what it's like to be a foreigner working in Germany. Who knew that he would turn out to be the star of the article!

So when I realized the implications of his words--the fact that because he was interviewed (and "had a couple photos taken too" he casually added) he would probably be quoted in the weekend paper--we stopped at the next minimart we came to to pick up a copy. I started flipping through the pages, scanning each page closely as to not miss it. I gasped when I finally flipped to the middle of the paper to find...

Yes. The article about foreign workers in the German engineering company, ZMD. And a picture of Grady that took up HALF THE PAGE, not to mention a couple great quotes from him (my favorite was, "I like to travel to Poland and the Czech Republic"--so random in the middle of this engineering article!). The picture I've posted here is actually practically the same size as Grady's face in real life! We've all had a good laugh and Grady's been able to relax again now that his company's taken the article down from every bulletin board at work. Oh the life of a celebrity...
