Elizabeth,

Having read one of Michael's essays that you linked to on your blog, I am not at all surprised that he was accepted and offered a scholarship! Michael is a very bright, articulate young man! I know I don't need to tell you this, but you have every right to be proud of him!

I'm so very happy for Michael! Please pass my congratulations on to him!

Dawn

Elizabeth,

Congratulations to you and your family and MICHAEL! You are an inspiration to us all!

I second the motion for advice for preparation for college. Maybe another additional chapter to your new book?

Having happy tears now.

Again, congrats!
