Crap Throwing Monkey Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 I am going up to Hanover, NH to attend the graduation ceremonies at Dartmouth College, from which my daughter Amanda will be graduating. It wasn't easy. She had to work during school and her off terms, while some of her friends (some of whom I met) were the daughters of actual billionaires. At one point, my lovely wife was waiting tables in a restaurant in order to help us pay. I choose not to post the things I have had to endure and see at work to make this come about, but you know what....it was all worth it! She is taking a year off from school. She already has a job in NYC doing some sort of interpretation. It makes sense, because she can speak Russian, Spanish, Sign Language and she took some French.....at Dartmouth. 705343[/snapback] Four languages...big deal. What's her 40 time?

IBTG81 Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 i would have asked for her phone number, but i highly doubt either of us wants to spend future family holidays arguing about the Bills offensive line issues . Have a good weekend! 705419[/snapback] Not to mention she probably only goes out with good looking guys! Juuuuuuuuuuust kidding Ramius!
ajzepp Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Congrats, Bill! There are too few examples of families like yours these days....I wish you all nothing but the best

Lori Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Time flies. Doesn't seem that long ago, when you were asking for opinions on the schools she was thinking about applying to... Congrats to your brilliant daughter, and to her proud parents. Have a great weekend!

Mark VI Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 The day it becomes taboo to brag about you kids is the day the earth ends for me. Fantastic news, Bill.
Bill from NYC Posted June 12, 2006 Author Posted June 12, 2006 I'm back, and it was totally awesome. Elie Wiesel was the speaker, and his words were inspirational. I expressed the well wishes to her from TBD and it made her very happy. She asked me to send her thanks, so I do so.... Thanks to all at TBD from Amanda Morris, Dartmouth College 06.
