Tha's all folks...


I have taken at least one class every semester, spring and summer included, since winter 2003. Last night I finished the last one. My first attempt to attain an undergraduate degree began in 1992 and was thwarted by work, life, or laziness... depending upon how honest/deprecating I want to be. But, thanks to tons of help from my friends and family, those demons of youthful indiscretion have been exercised... if only to help waylay the embarrassment of not having done it sooner. To everybody who pushed, encouraged, babysat, wifesat, cooked, studied, proofread, and just listened over the past few years I can't thank you enough. To Michele in particular, thank you for telling me every day that I can do it, and that it is worth it, and I'm worth it.

Congratulations! We are very excited for you. You are an amazing role model for Alexandra. If she ever says she can't do something, remind her that you had a new baby, wife with cancer and still continued to complete your degree. You and Michele are an inspiration to all. We are so lucky that you are our friends. Jen & Adam
