Our older son just got a phone call of acceptance from the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology. His field of interest is Metallurgy, and "Mines" is an excellent school with high quality faculty, low teacher-student ratio, and excellent career placement. They just received a multimillion dollar research grant from the Dept. of the Navy, and have some exciting resources like a lab built into the historic Homestake Mine.
Tim also has applications in with MIT, Penn State and Ohio State. What an exciting time in his life and ours.
Evidently switched at birth and not hobbled by my genetic material, he was elected to Homecoming Court (almost elected King), and just got back from a successful hunt with two good sized wild turkeys. This will be our first Thanksgiving with the game bird on the table (so we are busily gathering cooking advice - these things ain't like the Butterballs from the grocery store).
Anyway, thanks be to God for so many blessings!

Congratulations! It is a food school. And it is good for him to know he has this "ace in the hole" during the months before he news from the other schools.
good school, not food school. I don't know anything about the food at the school.
LOL "Can any good food come out of a school?"
Only the CIA (Culinary Institute of America).
LOL thanks, BillB.
My nephew graduated from Mines. Great school. He's had a super job since graduation. Congrats proud hard-working mom and dad Fountain
It is so good to hear this news and to read your (active) blog again. I've missed your thoughts, Father!
