What is important to me is that I have the great good fortune to spend my days doing something I love, and being given the opportunity to make a difference in the world.

Dr. Hawass was very happy to receive a special gift from President Obama today - a beautiful clock! It has two clock faces - one for local time and another for an international location (currently set to the current time in Washington DC) -the President's signature engraved on the top, and the President's Seal on the back. It is truly a lovely present.
