    Two of our grandsons in Florida just got accepted to the University of Florida last night. They will each join an older brother or sister there next fall. All four of them are majoring in engineering and two will be in the marching band.

    It makes going to Gator games all that much more fun.

    Congratulations Bill and to the kids and parents......I will say yikes at the cost though, we did the prepaid and still fork out $700 a month for rent and other activities. It's really cool that all four are in engineering, quite the accomplishment .

    Here's a great kicker, the one grandson got in ROTC in High School and thrived in it. He is a straight A student and was second in command during his senior year. He applied for a scholarship and got a full ride. Tuition, books and a monthly stipend. His mom and dad will have more money left when the two kids graduate. :)
