There are times when others can say it best.
One final thought. Prior to Friday's graduation ceremony I admit I was just a little tiffed that Heir 2 was the only Strasburg High School National Honor Society member that was snubbed on the local scholarship presentations.
But it all became clear when the school presented the listing of all scholarships the graduates earned. Heir 2's acceptance of Roanoke College's prestigious Bittle Scholarship ($117,000 over four years) bested his closest classmate by $37,000 and most by $100,000 or more.
Not bad for an Italian-American / Heinz 57 prodigy who selected academics, senior-year hi jinks and a very talented girlfriend over major athletics, brown-nosing religious zealots and their parents.
We couldn't be more proud of both of you!
