George - Thank you for sharing your family with me. My children and I are all college graduates as well. My son in English, one daughter in music and one in broadcasting. I am a law school graduate and currently have my own law practice. I specialize in family violence (so perhaps I am a bit sensitive). My dad graduated from UC Berkeley in chemistry and my mom San Jose State in French and history. My dad went back to school and studied structural engineering and joined his father in the construction business. Many buildings on the campus of MSU and around the area were built by my grandpa. Great grandparents were farmers and builders. Mother's father was a cabinet maker. Mother's mother was a cook and maid. She worked for Earl Warren when he was governor of Calif. after coming to this country. She was the most influential person in my life. My older brother is an exceptionally skilled craftsman who builds custom log staircases, log furniture, does custom wood interior as well as other custom made furniture. He has been featured in many magazines. All of my five siblings have been to college, one is still going and the rest have graduated. My other and younger brother received his degree in mathematics but has been known to lift a hammer on occasion. We are all outdoors people who love to camp, fish, canoe, hike, etc. My skilled craftsman brother spent many years working with youths and taking them on rock climbing, white water rafting, etc., trips all over the country. As far as I know none of my ancesters that predate my father went to college. They were farmers, most were builders, and some were preachers. The male carpenter line also served in the military - Civil War, World War I, WWII, Viet Nam. I have a great and loving family. We are all Christians and value our relationship with God above all. Even the women have lifted a hammer on occasion. I myself have done roofing, drywalling, plastering, and various other carpenter things. Thanks again for sharing. Kris
