My Kids: Smart and Good-Looking

Hey, these things are hereditary, right? Friday, my son Jim graduated from high school and Saturday, my daughter Kennedy graduated from college. I thought readers might want to see a few photos of these young scholars and their siblings.

Summa Cum Laude

State University with highest honors. Regular readers will remember that Kennedy got married last summer, and that she was featured in a news story about her career as an aspiring teacher.
