Big College Grad!

I am happy to announce that Dana graduated college yesterday! All of his hard work and dedication earned him a Bachelor's Degree in Parks and Recreation. Along with nearly 600 students, Dana was part of the 2009 graduating class of Lake Superior State University. On top of his cap he gladly displayed "Paddle for a Purpose." The commencement was pleasant with an interesting group of speakers including author Steve Hamilton. Hamilton challenged graduates to think about one thing that they could make a promise to themselves to follow.

“If I can do one thing today it is to ask you right now to think about what that one promise to yourself might be…What is the one thing you know in your gut that you want? It may not be practical, it may be crazy, but you know you want to do it because it is the one thing that that will make you feel later like you’re really living and not regretting that all this time has passed by."

Well, I think that Dana and I are following that dream right now and will be living it out all summer long, on the big lake.

Congratulations Dana, we are all proud of you!
