[rudyman]

My youngest graduated high school yesterday ,as valedictorian. A 4.0 and earned 153000 dollars in scholarships .I am one of the most proud parents in all of ingo.At the end of his speech he closed with a prayer,after the ceremony he asked if I was angry for breaking the schools policy .I told him I would have been a failure as a father if he didn`t .That is all.

That's a ton of money. Congrats, should easily be a full ride if he stays in state

Congrats! So where's he going? What's he wanna do?

Awesome! Thanks for sharing - what a proud and exciting day. Sounds like you've raised a great young man. Enjoy the time with him before he launches into he next stage of life.

 

[ticktwrter]

You have every right to brag. Sounds like you have done well with him.

Great news.. Be proud, your wife, son, & yourself earned it. My youngest son also graduated HS last Monday. He's heading off to Western Kentucky University. The Hilltoppers..

(looks like I might turn his old room into my new reloading room)

Sounds like a good kid, raised right. Well done!

That's great! You have every right to be proud. As my dad used to say "He's a scholar and a gentleman, and theres damn few of us left."

Congrats!

Congratulations to your son and to your family. Sounds like he had a couple good parents to raise him!

Well done Dad! And pass along to your son, great job as well. You both have done a fine job, and I'm sure it was not always easy. You have every right to be proud.

Doesn't he know there ain't know wimmins at that thar college?

(And the townie wimmins ain't much to speak of, neither.)

BUT, there IS Rhino in C-ville. That can make up for a lot.

Personally, I'd also like to hear a story about your son remaining "independent" while at Wabash and not pledging. But that's just me.

He had a few offers to join the fraternities but decided to pass .he was reluctant to join any organization that would have him as a member. His only character flaw is an affection for rifles chambered in 303 british. The no woman thing was a question he asked about,then at his visit weekends there is no shortage of females about the place Purdue and DePaul are close.What is Rhinos?

I'm currently on my phone...can someone page Kirk Freeman to this thread to assplain what Rhino is? I simply cannot do justice as Kirk can.

 

[Benny]

Very cool, I'd be proud too.

I wish I was smart.

Rhino is known to do interpretive dance and generally owes Kirk a box of .45's
