	I know. :)  He worked with us this summer, too.

	Thank you.  This year we're offering A+ hardware
	and Novell CNA classes as pilots, too, and the
	responses from the students have been enthusiastic
	to say the least.  It wasn't that long ago that
	I graduated from high school (right! and the more
	I say it, the more it'll be true!), and when I
	was a senior, I took AP Computer Science and learned
	Pascal, on a Mac Classic, by myself.  Now we have
	2 VB courses and one C++ course and they are full
	to capacity every semester.  I am so envious of
	the opportunities that HHS students have today
	in contrast to what was available to me when I
	graduated.  (Which, BTW, was in 1994 from Okemos.)
