It's been a tough day but this has made it a grand one...my journey has included a 30 month tour at Bethesda (then a Navy Medical Center) where I worked permanent nights and went to College Park during the day...ended up actually wrapping studies up at UMUC in Japan but had the option to walk at College Park (ended up getting the diploma as I left active duty the second time)...thank you Kermit (and Jim Henson) as the Muppet Show was "must see TV" on Friday nights on AFRTS...cheers, OSD
