There is something very exciting when a grandchild goes away to college and selfishly, a little sad.<\/strong> Logan will be heading west for school later this summer. I remember how we felt when both of our girls went away to college. It was the start of a new beginning. The image above is Logan with Lisa and Ray at a recent “Young Man of Distinction” event. I will open the “Logan” photo album and take you on a journey with this wonderful young man.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Logan visited colleges in Northern and Southern California with his mom and dad.<\/strong> The shot above is at the “Marin Headlands” just north of San Francisco.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Logan committed last week to the University of Southern California! We are so proud of his academic achievements and merit scholarship! This school is brutally difficult to get into! You may remember the recent scandals of movie star parents going to jail for cheating on their kids USC applications. I was recruited for track in my day by the USC track coach, Jess Mortensen. He died my senior year, and I was lost in their system. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Logan Story begins on this very special day. Our daughter Lisa beams<\/strong> at her beautiful new baby boy!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a cutie!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Boys stayed overnight with us almost one night a week over the years. As they got older, we discussed geography, world events, and politics. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
