I would like to thank everyone for their warm wishes and thoughtful comments...I know everyone here is from different backgrounds and ages, even countries, and I must say that I'm a bit overwhelmed by it all...it makes me happy to see with all the differences we all have, education is not lost!!!...that is what I am taking away from this day, everyone here knows how tough it is, and I can't thank you all enough for sharing this wonderful day with me!!  She looked beautiful and happy tonight...a lot of family made the drive with me and met her mother (and what I still consider my family) there...14 of us all told...It's been a great experience...hopefully sooner rather than later I'll be able to post a few pics of the events tonight...

Becks...America is no different than anywhere else, the medical profession needs all the help it can get at all levels, a wonderful field to be in.

Strat...we will celebrate this event the way it should with lots of family and friends, a grand celebration!!

Vail...hopefully we'll be seeing you on the Weather Channel very very soon!!  You've been working so hard yourself!!

Metallark...Thanks for the kind words...happiness and knowledge are both under rated these days!!

Spapad...She'll always be daddy's girl, I know...but as I watch her become more independant the older she gets, I just get a little emotional about it...but you're right, I know it in my heart.

Once again, thank you all for taking a little time for me on this special day for us, you all are wonderful, and it makes me proud of this Board and the quality of ppl here!!!
