Scotland on Sunday Newspaper, Jamie Andrew and Hunter Graduates
I don't often mention family on this blog, but today I will. We have 3 great children of whom we are very proud. One of them, Matthew, could be found in the Scotland On Sunday Newspaper today - in the photo he is the one at the back, second from the right. I believe the inspirational Jamie Andrew (http://www.jamieandrew.com/) not visible in the picture, was behind the eight of them. The eight being, of course, the Hunter Graduates 2008 up a mountian in the Alps!
Well done to all eight Graduates. The link to the Newspaper piece is here and explains all:

Patrick, congratulations to your son Matthew for being one of the eight Hunter Graduates for 2008. What an honor! He is no doubt a very smart cookie or he wouldn't have been selected for this. He should have a bright future.

Now the fun begins! I also have a gifted son and he was enrolled in a prestigious college in the USA majoring in math and computer science. He got several scholarships but there was much left to pay. He carried two after graduation college loans and I carried 4 parent plus loans. Wow, lean years, but it was all worth it. Thanks to his good start, his ten-year loans were paid off in five years, he holds a very good job and it was all worth it. I'm sure with your guidance, Matthew will be a well educated and well rounded individual who will help shape his country.
