<p>My D received a very nice letter from the Governor of Iowa today. He was extolling the virtues of Grinnell and Iowa too. He must of heard her as she sat in the corner muttering, "Iowa???"</p>
<p>I got this letter, too. Its such a surprise to see a letter from OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR! hehe</p>
<p>Yeah I got one as well, I think it's pretty funny, but yeah. I was actually expecting a letter from the governor of Ohio, so when I opened I was...confused.</p>
<p>I have to say Grinnell really has its recruitment together. When I was applying they were the only school where a student called me, they regularly sent me a copy of one of their publications, they gave me an early notification of acceptance along with a scholarship and plane tickets, a teacher called me not soon after to discuss academics, and now this...</p>
<p>It would be such a shame not to go.</p>
<p>I like the stories in the Ins and Outs newsletter.</p>
<p>Hey, tagran, my daughter is from Mason, Ohio. Are you nearby? She might have met you on other trips. She is flying from Cincinnati next Thursday in the early afternoon. Maybe you will be on the same flight.</p>
<p>ahh, i actulaly haven't visited Grinnell yet ... sort of odd... but yeah, Im going out there on the 18th and coming back the 19th so we probably wont have the same flight. I go to madeira in cincinnati, maybe your daughter and i will become good friends and we can carpool home...i only know of one other person coming from cincinnati, he goes to walnut hills.</p>
<p>It would be nice to have someone to carpool with if you both end up there. Hope you have a car, because my daughter has only a bicycle. I'll tell her to send you a PM. Good luck with your search!</p>
