Seventy-five percent

That's how much of the school year is over as of today. End of the third quarter already? How on earth did that happen?!

Fred's school year is buzzing right along too. One of his big activities now is the Eisenhower program, in which he and 11 other colonels travel around to meet with high-school and college students. They made their first trip last month to Pittsburgh, and Fred sent me a link to a newspaper article about it: "Military elite tune into civilian concerns." The article does a much better job of explaining the program than I did!
