| If he is interested in life without snow and year round golf, check out Georgia Tech in Atlanta. | |

| Well, Dave Jr is attending University of Buffalo School of Engineering on an academic scholarship. He also got a scholarship to R.I.T. but was more impressed with UB. He was also accepted at Penn State, but they wouldn't offer any money to a first year out of state student. I am happy to have him close to home. He is living on campus, but I still get to see him frequently.
He is still in love with his Riv and takes impecable care of it. It looks as good as the day I finished it. It will get a well deserved rest this winter as I picked up an '03 AWD Pontiac Vibe real cheap for him. Maybe I will do some mods to his Riv over the winter for him.
I also recently bought another '95 Riv for my 15 year old son. We will begin working on it soon so he can have it when he starts to drive. This one is black with 90,000 miles. It is very solid and the interior is just in need of a good detail. It has a rod knock and a massive oil leak, but I got a rotted parts car with a good motor.

| WOW!!!. I'm impressed, Dave--with both of you. But primarily with you. You don't get sons like that without being an exceptional father. Want to see to whom all this pride should be attributed? Look in a mirror. | |

| Thank You, Dave and Jim. I appreciate the compliments, but I can't take all the credit. I will give 10% to my wife. Only kidding. All we have done is shown them alot of love and tried to guide them. I make them earn what they get and so far I have been blessed. I also have two daughters and I think I may be a little to easy on them, but they are little still. | |
