"The important thing is not to stop questioning."---Albert Einstein

     We have 2 nephews graduating from high school this weekend.  They are intelligent, accomplished young men and will both be attending the University of Nebraska at Lincoln next year.  Their names are Sam and Grant.
     We also have a niece graduating from college this month.  She graduated in just 2 years!
     Additionally, on the other side of the family, we have a nephew, a former flight nurse, who graduated with his CRNA.
     We wish them an awesome journey.  We hope they have lots of fun on the way and that they never lose their sense of wonder.  Congratulations to Sam, Mara, Grant, and Brian.  We are proud of you and wish you the best always.

"Benedicto:  May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.  May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.  May your rivers flow without end, meandering through pastoral valleys tinkling with bells, past temples and castles and poets towers into a dark primevil forest where tigers belch and monkeys howl, through miasmal and mysterious swamps and down into a desert of red rock, blue mesas, domes and pinnacles and grottos of endless stone, and down again into a deep vast ancient unknown chasm where bars of sunlight blaze on profiled cliffs, where deer walk across the white sand beaches, where storms come and go as lightning clangs upon the high crags, where something strange and more beautiful and more full of wonder than your deepest dreams waits for you---beyond that next turning of the canyon walls."-----Edward Abbey
