This was a treasure to watch. I remember this pageant. I was able to meet Heather Whitestone the year she was crowned Miss America. I was 11 years old. I spoke with her and spent a while getting to know her and have pictures taken. I still have the book she signed for me all those years ago.

Man I feel especially bad for the engineer. You know he can most likely remember what it was like to have a high functioning brain and being wicked smart. That has to be immensely frustrating. It would be hard for anyone, but going from like 120+ IQ (90th percentile before anyone claims 120 isn't high), which is the typical IQ of an engineer grad, to 100 or less would just be devastating. My belief is that the brain processes that we are attempting to measure with IQ tests are the key to experiencing every aspect of the world to its fullest. My IQ is my superpower that makes my horrible life situation tolerable and I'm terrified of losing it. Oh, and person who wants to reply, sorry but you probably don't know what you are talking about. Everyone is an IQ expert while simultaneously not understanding anything about it. Interesting how that works.

She placed in the top 10. :) (Or, heck, I wonder if Heather’s ever met Heather Jackelen, Miss Wyoming 2005?
