Everyday's a school day. Literally! Best of luck with the studies Terry.

Terry...it's great to have you back. You have been missed! I've missed your pictures most of all!!!

Regarding school...I definitely can relate. Coming back to graduate school after 14 years out of school was a transition. I've not been overly pleased with the experience to date...but that's more a function of the school and the way certain people run things...not so much the education and classes themselves. The biggest problem I find is that it is much harder now to find the time to do homework...with a wife and kids...family and household demands, etc. Good luck to you! Going for the degree that fits with your interests is definitely the way to go!!

However, if I can, I'll be stopping by the Clan Lamont/Muir booth Saturday afternoon put on by XMTS members Old Hiker & Don (*if* I'm there you'll also be able to track me down @ the Clan Donald booth, wearing my Newsome Macdonald of Keppoch box pleat!). Cheers!

Terry sorry to say we have to skip Bellingham this year, Don has a grandson graduating from HS and I am having a going away party from my employment of 16 yrs. I am not calling it retirement but a refocus of my carreer. Hope to see you at Skagit? Congrats on your new challenge. talk to you soon

Glad to see you back here Terry and good luck on your career choice. Just don't let the teacher make you stay after school....

Hi, Terry – sorry to learn of your further troubles, but I wish you every success in your newly chosen field of study.
You are bound to be back at the gatherings when your financial situation eases.
