By Ralph K. Spencer, D'Evelyn Education Foundation Board of Directors OK, I admit it, I'm a numbers guy. I can't help it. Give me your telephone number and I will remember it for three days. Same with the balance in my checking account, or your checking account, for that matter. Same with my daughter's nursing schedule for the month of Feb. It's a blessing and a curse, at the same time. However, and there is always a however in life, I will strive to keep this article simple/easy to understand, despite the numbers. I am going to be talking scholarships, a topic near and dear to the parents of every D'Evelyn senior and perhaps of interest to many of our graduating seniors. The infamous numbers have changed from last year - for the better. Where numbers are concerned, short and sweet is mandatory. So, here we go:
Please watch for my "Second of a Series" of scholarship numbers. I promise to lighten up, numbers wise, in future articles. In closing, I am reminded of the dry but funny wit of comedian Steven Wright who once quipped, "I'm writing a book. I've got the page numbers done." I hope MY numbers have a more significant impact (on you and your students) than Steven's!!! GO JAGS! |
