Jonathan Fivelsdal Okay so I am a proud mama. A week ago my son Jonathan graduated from Bard College with a major in mathematics.

Because of the existing economic climate this crop of college graduates could be facing a tough time however I suspect this could be a character building period. A time when things are not just handed to you, and more decision making will go into the choices made.

So congratulations and best wishes to all you 2010 graduates and best wishes with finding a job.

And Jonathan one last instruction put that math degree to good use!

Spoken like a proud mama.

Gary Jonathon is a wonderful young man and I am sure he will be successful.

Chris thanks for the advice, there are many possibilities with a math major.

Greg Thank you. I expect him to make a meaningful contribution.

Steve we do. Hard to believe I won't have anyone in school. I will have to move on to the next phase in my life :)

Paula thank you I am proud. Recently heard a report about how many students failed to make it to graduation, so I am thankful he went all the way.
