Tamar;

There is nothing like being exact! :) You might wish to contact the University and tell them to change the word University to College.

By the way our daughter attended U Mass (as she and her friends called it), before transfering to UCLA.

Congratulations on your son’s graduation from college. As a parent this is a moment you will never forget! It takes a great family effort to support a student in so many ways that would require a long list. It is a great accomplishment for many reasons and is an event that will be remembered for its sacrifices and rewards.

I wish your son well and hope he helps to make the world a better place, as I wish our children will do.
