    Wonderful news.

    I foresee some Seatrain, Joe Walsh and Hamilton Loomis in her musical future as well.

    Hey Bruce. Shoot me an email or give me a call. I sent you a couple of emails but never heard back.

    Awesome news!!! Congratulations!
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Later in Mary Ellen's life, her classmates will be planning trips to Disneyland but she will be thinking about her next visit to Grandpa's stonehenge.
