The culmination of 10 months’ hard work and studiousness was realized in one special night, Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at Omaha’s Civic Auditorium.  Nadine graduated from Burke High School in 4th year senior standing – with honors.

To say we are proud of Nadine for her academic accomplishment is to also give thanks and convey admiration to Andreas and Beate as well, because students like Nadine don’t randomly fall off trees.  In fact, young women like Nadine are exceedingly rare and it’s been a treat for all of us to watch her mature this year.

We’re about at the end, but I prefer to view this as the closing of one volume in our blended family’s life and the opening of another.

Epilogue forthcoming.  Stay tuned.
