This Could Be Big: Ericka Ebbel, MIT alumna, won the talent portion of the priliminary round at the Miss America pagent last night. Two of my collegues are going to Atlantic City this weekend to watch the actual pagent. A rifle shooting, piano playing, beautiful, wicked smart, MIT educated woman in the Miss America pagent! Who woulda thunk? She is actually favored to reach the top 5 at least!
