May 2012

My wife who was laid off in 2007, was able to qualify for a Labor Dept. program for workers in diminishing fields. She has gotten an Associates degree out of it, and for the most part was employed part time by the college she was attending. She graduates on the 15th.
We may not make as much as we did, but we are in better financial condition, and my lady has had the opportunity to get the education she always wanted. She will graduate, Magna Cum Laude.
