Ariel was honored at the Department of Science for a$900 scholarship she was awarded. Recently we received in the mail that she will get the Banfield scholarship of $5000 as well this year. Not bad for a day's work. Keep up the good work, Ariel!
She was also invited to be on the American Cancer Society Relay for Life, Love-Bird team held at Wood Middle School. She stayed the night and Jake and I went home. Ali raised the most money.
Every Friday Ariel volunteers at an animal rescue/refuge, Chintimini. She loves it and comes home with stories of owls, hawks, a goose, racoons, a fawn and the like.
Roland is living his dream, traveling Greece and other European countries for 37 days with no set agenda or restraints except a $3000 budget and a flight home from Barcelona, Spain the day before his birthday.

That's Roland about third row from the bottom middle turning around.
Ariel was adamant that she be there for him, since she did not stay for high school graduation. She wanted to make up for that, but I sent her with the Powells and they arrived soon after the procession was seated. She was there and was the first to give him a hug. Apparently, the grad next to him was listening to the soccer world cup game.
We celebrated Roland's graduation from OSU this June, though he has one more term to go. So, it will be official in December. It was a Hoffman side gathering, with Henrietta representing the Cochrun clan and treating us to dinner at the Olive Garden.
