Bill from NYC Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I am going up to Hanover, NH to attend the graduation ceremonies at Dartmouth College, from which my daughter Amanda will be graduating. It wasn't easy. She had to work during school and her off terms, while some of her friends (some of whom I met) were the daughters of actual billionaires. At one point, my lovely wife was waiting tables in a restaurant in order to help us pay. I choose not to post the things I have had to endure and see at work to make this come about, but you know what....it was all worth it! She is taking a year off from school. She already has a job in NYC doing some sort of interpretation. It makes sense, because she can speak Russian, Spanish, Sign Language and she took some French.....at Dartmouth. Not to be outdone, my Alyssa is attending Stony Brook Univ. in September, and will be home with me. She is a hard working, wonderful young lady, and will be nothing but a complete success. I am sorry if I appear to be bragging, but I am proud of my children beyond words. Also, I feel like TBD can use some good news right about now. Thank you all for the dialogue, and I can't wait to see my old friends once again at RWS on 10/22. I hope to make some new ones as well! PS: Let my congrats ring out loud to my old friend Gavin! He is a recent Syracuse Grad! Great work Bro!!! May God bless you, and all at TBD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 That's great news Bill. I'm sure the reward of seeing your children grow into quality adults is a wonderful payback for your years of hard work and sacrifice. Congratulations to your daughter. Have a blast.

Bill from NYC Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 My whole family knows how much TBD means to me. I am going to pass your sentiments along to them, and I thank you all eternally. Do you know how serious I am? Millie sends her thanks and well wishes as well. Her mother is an old school Puerto Rican who is prone to fainting. She has gone down for the count a few times at family parties. She will be there, and is looking forward to the dance on Saturday night (she is 67 and looks 20 years younger). Amanda's roommate's father is a doctor, a great guy, and he will be on standby. The whole thing is cool, and I thank you all for your friendship. Seriously, you have no idea how much your well wishes mean to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
