So They Didn't Come

Yesterday, Dave became a college graduate. Dave's GPA was terrific, especially for engineering. He is a hard worker and an intelligent person. I'm very proud of him.

Kath, Alex, Scott, and Laurie all came up and we had a lot of fun. Dave forgot to tell my parents and so they didn't come (and were upset about it). We hope they can forgive us.

Also, Dave recently placed third in a NATIONAL design competition. He won a $2,500 software package. I'll make him tell you more about that.

We love you all.
