El Presidente Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 it only seems like yesterday when my eldest Ben started Grade 1. He graduates year 12 today and will start at University next year. He also joins us here at Czars in a few weeks after a break at the beach with mates to celebrate the end of formal schooling. Diana's son Todd also Graduates today (and Di is at a graduatiin ceremony this morning and won't be in until 11am local time). i think we can all remember when we finished school. What a great day To my son Ben...and Di's son Todd....CONGRATULATIONS

Which university and program will your son be attending? and better yet is he going to have a graduation cigar with his father? Riaz...it took all our efforts to convince Angela that he was in a "morally safe" environment working here at Czars We will leave the cigars for some time....let my poor wife handle today first He is looking to study Geophysics at University of Queensland.
jdbrown Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 God you are right Rob. Goes by so fast. I have one graduating this year and so do many of my friends. We were just talking last week about him dancing in the seats at KC Royals game and getting on the big screen! He was 5 at the time. I remember it like yesterday! Congrats to Ben. I am sure he will be a success!

JohnnyC Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Congratulations to Ben and Todd.... and of course their proud parents. I know how you feel Rob it seems like yesterday I was taking my son to Detroit Tigers and Red Wings game. Seeing his face light up with seeing his hero's play. Now he is attending law school a few blocks from the arena and ball park he loved as a child. Damn I feel old.

Chaki Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 He is looking to study Geophysics at University of Queensland. Surely that would include the influence of the planets and solar activity on Cuba, its impact on the soil, hydrology, tobacco culture and cigars? Congratulations to Ben and to the proud father!
