Year-end thanks

Parents Forum
1

<p>to all of the kind and helpful posters on the parents' forum from whom I have learned a lot. Many people have made this a terrific exchange board, but I especially would like to thank Carolyn, Interesteddad, and TheDad for service above and beyond the call of duty.</p>

<p>Thank you also to the parents who have sent PM messages, especially TheDad for a wonderful summary of his daughter's thoughts and experience at Smith. I loved Smith when I visited my best friend from high school there a zillion years ago, and I am disappointed that my daughter has flat refused to apply to any women's college.</p>

<p>Interesteddad's post on considering the history of LACs gave me insights that as a midwesterner, I never ever would have had, even though unlike most midwesterners, I did attend an all-girls' K-12 school outside of Chicago and should have thought of that myself. </p>

<p>Carolyn is, well, Carolyn, and I hardly need to explain further.</p>

<p>Seven apps down and two to go. I am a wreck. </p>

<p>How kind of you Xmere. It has been my pleasure being "carolyn" LOL - thank you for your thanks, it makes the time and effort I put in here feel worthwhile to know that it matters to someone.</p>

<p>Xmere, I'm honored to be cited. Usually when I'm cited, it's not an honor. And thank you so much for not considering my "Smith" PM's to be the on-line equivalent of talk radio. </p>

<p>Anyway, it sounds as if things are working out for your daughter. The process usually manages to work...let us know how the final chapters to the saga come out.</p>

<p>And a Happy New Year to you.</p>
