#1 grndson called from Paris coupla days ago to say "thank you" for helping
him with finances, character guidance, study habits, etc., and that he's
glad to have gone to UNC-CH and Institute d'Etude Politique de Paris. 'Made
me feel mighty good to hear it from him without any prompting. 'Reminded,
him, of course, "Don't forget that others have been involved, too - Mom,
Dad, other grandparents - be sure to thank them, too."
'Reminds me: Just before he graduated from high school, he called me with
some exciting news - he had received a scholarship for $18K per year from
American U in DC. I was very happy for him, but I had to finally remind him
that it left "only" about $40K per year for the rest of us to pay. We were
pleased when he chose to attend UNC-CH (a state-supported U) at ~ $15K total
per year from us.
He and grndaughter have graduated summa cum laude (he at UNC-CH; she at
NCSU) with no student debt. She's starting PhD program at U of CO next
month with full scholarship, stipend, grants, etc.
'Mighty proud of bofum. ;<)

The real irony is that they have a younger son who is on the "8 year plan"
as they call it at the local community college. He valets at the local
Embassy Suites on the weekends because he "Likes to drive fancy cars."
I'm thinking he got overshadowed by big sister and got the short end of
the stick....

We have friends whose daughter graduated from Brown and is now in law

them around $45k/year.
I could never get my head around that.
That depends, is it worth $60k (housing etc included) a year to have your
daughter date Harvard students?
