We, along with several other relatives, received a nice email from our niece Julie, who has decided (after long consideration and agonizing [?]) to attend St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota. This means I have a wife, a son, a daugher-in-law and soon a niece who are all Oles. My only personal connection with St. Olaf was writing checks for tuition, etc., when son David attended St. O. Whenever I wore my St. O t-shirt (known as the $25,000 t-shirt; tuition was less back then) people would ask me 1. Is there really a place called St. Olaf? They thought it only a place on TV (remember "The Golden Girls")? Answer-yes and 2. Where is it? My stock answer (for those who have heard this, go to the next paragraph) was it is 30 miles south of the Mall of America and I knew it every time I received my son's credit card statement. Most knew the MOA so that pacified them. Congratulations, Julie! You have made a good choice.
I am still wondering where my cousin Mary's daughter Pyper is going to school next year. Hope to hear from that side of the family.
I'm just happy to be finished with college applications, FAFSA forms, and financial aid.
