Next time you watch that graduation-stage video, zero in on the young woman's face as she slowly realizes what Dad has done to her moment. Her misery, resignation, defeat ... are just crushing. That's where hope lies, for Baraboo and for us -- she's not going to do this to the next generation.
As a neighbor observing the growth of your children from little tots to flourishing, productive adults, all I can say is that you and Laura have always been superb, model parents. Would that all followed your lead!

So true, Tom. We can only hope the old saying is true: "The children will save us."

Thank you, Carolyn. We miss you in the ‘hood!
