Graduation day

[coopermini]

Our oldest son graduated Friday from State University of New York College of Agriculture and Technology at Cobleskill. He earned his Bachelor of Technology in Agricultural Engineering. He did it a semester early with a GPA of 3.27. He even graduated with Honors! Not bad for a kid who was told by his high school algebra teacher he was wasting her time in her class and he should drop out.

Not hard to tell we are very proud of him. :aktion033: He is the first Cooper in our family to get a 4 year degree.

Here are some pics:

I know how proud of him the whole family must be. Our youngest graduated on the 15th from Miami oh Ohio. I hope your other children follow his example. You got some great photos. :aktion033:

Karla,

This is the one who will be moving to Vernon, NY end of Jan. He will be working for Kuhn Equipment doing tech support and product testing for them. Craig was going to WI for them but 2 weeks ago it changed back to NY. Craig really did well at Cobleskill as they are more "hands on" than many schools. Also being a small school helped keep him and his best friends for getting lost in the crowd.

Our youngest Eric is a freshman at Daniel Webster College in Nashua, NH. He is an aviation major in flight operations. He is a few hours short of getting his private license. He plans on being a commercial pilot.

If there is anyone with a Leer Jet and looking for a future son in law he is availible!!!!!!

Karla,

Congrats on your kids. Your son will like Morrisville. And yes from what others have told us both run very similar approaches to teaching. Those are very impressive schools your daughter is appling to!

We will make it out to your place on one of our visits for sure.

Merry Christmas To All!
