My oldest daughter is a freshman in college. We speak with her almost daily, Lisa more than I. It’s great to hear the stories and tales of her dorm and college life.

One daughter in college and the other in 8th grade. 8th grade now is WAY different now then it was then, you know, when I was in 8th grade. I barely remember it. I don’t remember a single teacher.
