I taught the subject of my degree for a short while, then worked at it from there on privately. I shall be surprised if my grandchildren go to Uni; it is amazingly expensive these days, and 'technical courses' seem much more popular.

None have degrees, but all are gainfully (and happily) employed, with three grandchildren also employed, one being in the career of her choosing. The fourth grandchild is still in high school.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-70353122131112920572022-03-16T23:13:42.661+00:002022-03-16T23:13:42.661+00:00I did not read this as a complaint.

It's important to keep in touch - especially as you and your bride are not getting any younger.
