You should be proud! Congrats to her and to you

Thats great news! Congrats to both of you:D

Hey Neal, tell her congratulations for me! That's wonderful news :D

Thanks! I've booked a flight to Ithaca, NY for Mar 31 to attend the open house with her.

I got mightily drunk in Ithaca one night...... Ahhhh... the college days....

What's so terrible about being drunk?:D

Ithaca's pretty cool, but a trifle... chilly... in the winter months.

:rotfl2:



Neal, congratulations to your daughter. And to you for raising her.

Now unless I'm mistaken that photo Sky has posted must have been pre-2008 :hmmm:

Never fear...I'll keep an eye on Chad :O:

^ and who was my dinner date? Jim:dead::haha:

Yeah, I'd keep an eye on Chad though:D.

For the uninformed like me, who are those people? Can someone list names with faces/positions?

You honestly wouldn't want to know...but mcbee is the one in the purple girlie shirt :D

I am of course, the good looking one :smug:

Would you be the one in the red or blue shirt then?

Way to go Valerie! Great investment Neal ...

I thought she was going to study in Spain or was that the other daughter. Spain is nice, but scary for a girl.

I'm getting so old I'm going to send my granddaughter Destiny (age 11) to nursing school when she gets out of HS lol

I'm old and forget things, like the guy nearest the camera. But next to him is Valerie herself, then Chad, Hanomag in the black t-shirt. The big guy in the striped shirt is TarJak, and the skinny guy behind him is Kapitan Lehmann. Behind him in the green shirt is Jimbuna, and next to him in purple is Nikimcbee. Peeking out from behind Jim is some Old Sailor, and in the orange shirt is FAdmiral (I think).

Coming up the far side, I apologize for not remembering the first three. Number four from the back is Privateer, and next to him is Mrs Privateer. Next is UnderseaLCPL, and grinning in grey is Elanaiba, alias Dan the Designer Man. The young girl next to him, if I remember rightly, is Natasha, Neal's youngest. next to her is Chad's dad Kyle. Closest to the camera are some of Neal's family, so he'll have to clue you in.

Sorry for the ones I forgot, and for the ones I remembered wrong. :sunny:

She spent 5 months studying in Italy. And she managed to visit France, Germany, Switzerland, Turkey and England in several side trips. She's seem more awesome countries than me. Of course, I am not making any future international trips until Ubi Romania starts SH6, then I am going to Bucharest. Who wants to bet I won't live that long! :haha:

Yeah, she thought Dan was AWESOME! A game designer from Ubisoft (Rayman).

I remember when we had the first Houston SS meet, Drebbel game my daughters these really nice windmill necklaces and earrings. Natasha wears that necklace every day now!
