Hi MKTBUZZ,

I wanted to add something else about character. My wife Joyce just received her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and she is 48. She worked very hard on this. Her father never learned to read and died at the age of 47 when she was 12.

Last year she came home aghast at the treatment of one of her fellow students. There was an elderly woman then in her senior year of college who was approaching 70 years old. She had been widowed several years and had gone back to college after her husband passed away.

During a question and answer session one student questioned her why a woman of her age would trouble herself with trying to graduate from college.

She did not make a long and eloquent statement to justify her presence among much younger students. What she did say was that it was a goal she wanted to achieve.

This is certainly a very grand lady and I know her family must be very proud of her.

All the Best.
Josh
