    I don't think I posted this news before.. I've looked back through my threads and posts to make sure..didn't find it..sooooo...if I already posted this...sorry... Just a proud grandma here. That's what happens when you get older, they tell me....you start to repeat yourself!

    My grandson will be honored at the Whitehouse as one of the top 200 Middle School students in the U.S.. He will spend a week in Washington DC, have sessions with members of Congress, attend workshops and tour a lot of the Capital. There will also be students from many other countries participating in this. It's a program to bring bright young people together from different countries to aid in understanding of how government works and build bridges. It's a program started by Eisenhower when he was president....It will be the last week in March...so it's getting close! I'm so excited for him....

    He is such a great kid....turned 13 in October... My daughter's first child... My son is going to become a dad in March as well... March is going to be a big month for me!

    Ya mean he's not waiting for the New Order to fix everything?

    I guess there might still be hope for humanity.

    CONGRATULATIONS, Coffee!

    That is awesome. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    My kids have a couple pretty cool things scheduled with "worldly people" in the near future.

    Unfortunately, I've gotta keep it on the down low for purposes of paranoid anonymity.

    WOW!!!! WHAT AN HONOR!!!!

    Congratulations. I wish there were more programs like this to recognize hard work done by kids. We usually just hear about negative things.

    This is a real tribute to you, also, as you must have worked very hard to raise this child's mom.

    Congratulations, Coffee,

    This is such an honor. You must be very proud of him. There are not a lot of programs

    to honor kids that really work in school. Glad he is able to go and experience this.
