The family is healthy and all are going forward in a positive direction ... and that is the most important for me. It looks like my oldest daughter will be going to medical school in the fall after high school graduation. Since she is a year ahead (soon to be just 17), we have agreed that she will do her first and very, very hard year of medical school in Poitiers at the university and live at home. We have agreed that her "job" is to study, study, study ... and that I (we) would take care of her meals, laundry, transportation, etc. She stated the other day that she was more interested in internal medicine and/or surgery after attending a short medical orientation conference ... we'll see. Her two young sisters are doing great, too.
my graduating high school class was small 84 but set several records for the high school
athletic as well as academic:
about 60 percent of us went on to a 4 year college - resulting in one veterinarian, one dentist, several CPAs as well as several attorneys and one guy who we all claimed was receiving money from his father's estate as long as he was in school -
he was one of three kids, he had an older brother and he was a paternal twin and his dad died when he was a junior. his dad was the only doctor in town.
my classmate also became a doctor and while doing his residency in Chicago went to and graduated from law school
Tom is back in the same small town, also the town's doctor, not sure if he ever practiced law
