Benjamin outside his new home away from home.

It felt like the first day of kindergarten, except the kid in question is a legal adult, and when you wave goodbye at the end of the day, you board a plane and fly home a thousand miles away and leave him to the care of professors and resident advisors. You hope he can play nicely, make new friends, and figure out how to use his meal card. You also hope he can diligently pursue his studies and blossom intellectually. We think he's make a good choice in this small liberal arts college in the Pacific Northwest. The University of Puget Sound has an enthusiastic and articulate upper class that welcomed us in the most heartwarming way. After a spirited convocation at Peyton Field, the freshman and their families walked through a cheering crowd of students and staff, including the school mascot "Grizz T. Logger." I hope it's beginning to feel like home to Benjamin.
