My 18 year old nephew and his Dad (my brother) stopped in yesterday.........

to visit me and my 83 year old Mother. My nephew attended college in North Carolina last semester. He is attending again this semester but here at home in Pittsburgh, via on line courses. He would be in NC right now, but he had a melanoma removed 2 weeks ago. It is stage 1, they excised it, did a battery of tests and he just needs follow up with the doctor every 6 months.

I was so happy, as is his grandmother, parents and his older brother. I was even happier yesterday as I saw him pick up the newspaper and read it, all section, though he went to the sports section first. I just wish more young people would look at a newspaper and view it as an extension of all the electronic gadgets they use every day.

BTW while he was reading the paper, he multi-tasked by conversing with me and Mom and answering many texts.
