were in the front car on the "red track" and her husband and
12-year-old were in the front car on the "blue track." Dowling
says, "I took a selfie as we climbed the first hill and just
happened to snap it at the same time my husband was
doing the same thing with my other daughter on the
'red track.' Double seflie, I guess :)."

of the President, her husband and some friends went
whitewater rafting on the Youghiogheny River in Ohiopyle,
Pennsylvania. Nichol is seated front left, with her husband
seating behind her at the rear end of the raft.
Elaine Robinson, assistant to the vice
president for institutional advancement,
submitted this photo of her favorite
staycation location -- her 16 x 40 ft
community garden plot in Kent. Robinson
says, "This year I did a mandala (spiritual
and ritual symbol representing the universe)
with everything growing in a circular format."
John Holik, director for information services finance and
business operations, shared this photo of his son and
daughter, future Flashes Sam and Julia Holik, at a stop by
the beach in Cambria, California, during their drive from L.A.
