Today our three year investment paid off. No one was more proud of his accomplishments than this young man himself. I think the look on his face says all that needs to be said.

But being his grandfather, I need to say a little more. He was the swim team captain for all three years he was here. He was voted MVP in the last two years and also won this year's sportsmanship trophy. He was his school's head delegate to the California Model UN. He's going on to San Jose State University next fall, and we're going to miss him.
