Title: I Am A Proud, Proud, Dad......
Post by: hunter22 on August 01, 2013, 02:35:15 PM
Life Changing Events….

My youngest son Hunter, who has been my hunting companion and best friend for many years, recently found out these things. 

1. He is getting his Doctorate degree in Physical Therapy, graduating tops in his class. Graduation will be August 9th.

2. He passed his National Physical Therapy board exams, making the highest score possible on it (800).

3. He accepted his first job back here in his hometown. Do you think I am pleased with that choice? He had several options and some paid more money, but he is coming HOME!!!

4. He bought his first home, closing on it the end of August.

5. He and the daughter-in-law informed us we are going to be grandparents again. They are expecting their first child in March 2014. We have one grandson from my oldest son and his wife. Think we are excited around here??????

You did very well, Rickey and should be proud. Having met Hunter and knowing a few of his friends I know he is humble with really high moral character and a great work ethic. It is obvious his upbringing was very solid. Nineteen years of straight A's is really a testament to the values and priorities you instilled in him. Pretty exciting time that he is about to start the cycle over with a child of his own on top of moving into his first home and he and starting a new career.
