The Tassle Man


How do you get one of these robes and flat top hats? After getting the easy ones from High School, you go for these.

Generally, it takes a few years of difficult, demanding and disciplined study, as well as several thousand dollars.

Well, congratulations to Jamie. He's done it. This month he graduated from Bethel University with a degree in Theology and Biblical Studies.

Of the six of us in our family, Jamie is the youngest. He is also the first one to graduate from college. I never did, but Cathy will graduate in the Spring. Dylan will also be graduating and plans to immediately go on to pursue his doctorate. Chelsea earned straight A's this semester and is continuing to work toward her degree.

If this sounds like I'm bragging - that's because I am.

This also reads like one of those cheesy Christmas letters (which we never send)..

Anyway, Jamie did it in only 3 1/2 years.

Way to go. We're all proud of you.

The Tassel Man ... hhhmmmm. Reminds me of a old story told by cornfield workers of long ago--"The Two Tassles,"
