Could not be any more proud of my daughter!

Just got back from Atlanta Ga. (Emory Univ.) to watch my daughter's dissertation for her PhD in neurology. Now have to call her Doctor! She has worked very hard (six years) since her undergrad at Northeastern. Best part is she already has a great job lined up! Will be making way more than I will, and it is a great feeling that your kids do better than you do! My son is already doing that as a Mechanical engineer! So nice not having to worry about them making their way in life.

Congrats... That is a good thing, to see your child do better than you, but that you also worked hard to make that possible. So congrats to both of you.

Not bad for a couple of kids with a crazy Unimog-loving father.

Thanks for the kind words guys! My wife and I are very happy and proud with both of our kids. And my son already weaseled a Unimog out of me at my cost, (but still waiting for payment). He is saving his money for a down payment on a house in Denver.
