(May, 2012)

Hi there:

I'm so proud of my son, Sam, who is graduating this month with a bachelor's degree in Economics from Yale University. And my daughter, Caroline, a junior at Guilderland High School, will be inducted into the National Honor Society. They're both smarter than I'll ever be and I couldn't be happier. Way to go you two.

To all my students at the University at Albany and the Albany Academy, you're almost done. I've enjoyed teaching you, I hope I've left you something lasting and finish your exams and assignments strong. The finish line and much-deserved summer vacation awaits.

All the best,
Paul
