I attended public school in southern Arkansas and had an excellent preparation for college.

Must have been a long time back. When I attended public school in Arkansas the schools were so worthless my mother pulled me and my siblings out and home-schooled us all. My sister, at the time of being removed from public school, had the goals in life of wanting to be a cheerleader and a waitress. Within a year of being at home for school she wanted to be a pilot and an astronaut. She got as far as being a Marine combat pilot. She decided to forgo the astronaut part so she could start a family and homeschool her own kids. Along the way she got an engineering degree from a top university.

I graduated in '64 and do not deny my experience being unique.
While I didn't know it at the time my educational experience was wonderful. My graduating class is still close and most praise our teachers and educational experience there. There are loads of terrific memories from that time.

Congratulations on your successful family.
