Congrats and kudos!!! (Like grandma, like grandson, or: he's a chip off the old block, no?)

Thanks, Eva. The poor kid didn't get a chance to goof off in school. This grandma was a teacher, the other grandma was a teacher's aide, and the step-grandma was an elementary school principal.

His grandfather on this side was a high school vice principal, and the other "crazy grandpa" actually lives like a pirate on a pirate ship, is the only registered privateer in the U.S. with his papers signed by Reagan, has changed his name to Horatio Sinbad - but more importantly used to be in the Living Classroom program, teaching children about history and sailing.

And finally, Aaron's mother (my daughter) has multiple degrees and has been a mentoring teacher in our county for about 15 years. That means that she is teaching teachers how to teach when they encounter difficulties. With all those genes (and relatives ready to pounce), Aaron learned early to do well scholastically.
