Graduating. . . .

There is no need to reach high for the stars, they are within you, reach deep inside and you will find them.

Alex's high school graduation was Saturday evening. It was held in the Ford Theater at the Honeywell Center. This was the first child for Stephanie, our first grandchild, and my parents and Tom's first great grandchild to graduate. She was presented with a Core 40 diploma. We are all so very proud of her.

Congratulations to the class of 2009

Alex had her Open House Sunday at the Women's Club House on Hill Street. She had a very nice reception. We wish her the very best for a happy, productive and meaningful future.

Now that you've graduated,

Your adventure has begun.

Your schooling has prepared you

For the race life has you run.

We praise you for your efforts,

And send good wishes, too,

For a future filled with happiness,

And your fondest dreams come true.
