Alphabetika Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 DH is a dimensional designer and model builder for Imagineering, which is the creative division of Disney. Sometimes Disney brings in speakers for lunchtime lectures, and today's speaker was Temple Grandin! She spoke on different thinking styles, creativity, collaboration between different types of thinkers, and related topics. He said she spoke briefly about homeschooling and the benefit of having an education that acknowledges and benefits different learning styles versus the typical "one size fits all" style of traditional education. After the talk, dh saw her with her companions looking around the model shop. They weren't being escorted and they seemed so interested in the whole thing that he went up and asked Temple if she'd like a tour. He ended up showing her around and having a great conversation with her. What a treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSMom2One Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 You live in a great place for things like that to happen, don't you? What a great incident for your dh! I loved that movie and was just fascinated in learning about her. It would be quite the experience to hear her speak and actually meet her. I live in a rural community up in the PNW, and we have an excellent rehab center nearby that often hosts celebrities. So if we see someone famous in OUR town, it's usually because they are in treatment! (One time when I was office manager of a local church, R*bin Will*ams was actually in the building. It was really hard to stay away and not gawk in the room where he was....:D ) How fun. Thanks for sharing! Blessings, Lucinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenCat Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Way cool! I've heard her speak at a conference, but to meet her would be so much better. I'd really love to meet her mother, if she's still living, as I imagine she would be an inspiration too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
