We Have Greater Readers Here

This is a little off topic but that is OK. 

I get a fair amount of feedback from readers and I can say without reservation that we have some great readers here. Here is an example. One thing you can tell about people is how well they raise their kids. One of our readers here let me know about his daughter who a journalism student at Oklahoma University. As part of her course work this fall she was asked to write a blog. 

Below is a link to an excellent article she wrote that shows what kind of great readers we have here.

Here is the link to her blog post .  The opening paragraphs are pasted just below. Be sure to read it all!
