Proud Papa Moment - Wonderful news about both of my children

[Towncrier]

Just got a phone call from my DS James telling me that he has been accepted into the BS/MD program at NEOUCOM (Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine) and that he will start his undergraduate studies at Kent State University a couple of weeks after graduation from high school. This is great news and DW Sue and I are breathing a sigh of relief. He applied for early action and was accepted after the first round of interviews.

Last week James completed his Eagle Scout board of review and is now officially an Eagle Scout as well.

And not to be outdone, DD Sarah auditioned for a role in this year's production of The Music Man. She tried out for the role of the mayor's wife, Eulalie Mackechnie Shinn. And she got it!!! That will be two years in a row that she has had a lead role in the play. Not bad for a high school sophomore. Sarah also finishes up her driver's education classroom work tonight. She is well on her way to getting her driver's license.

And my wife and kids insisted that I go to WDW this past week to visit with friends. It could not be a more wonderful December for me. I guess that Christmas came early this year. Actually, I KNOW that it did.

I just wanted to share all of my good news with my DIS CB friends.

Way to go, James and Sarah!! I hope you both know how proudly your dad always speaks of you.

And Sue, Sarah, and James - Thank you for encouraging him to go to WDW this month. Mom and I had such a terrific time hanging out with him again, and my DH finally got to meet him and many of my other wonderful DIS buddies . We missed you, though, Sue .
