Our son who is a graduate assistant/researcher in History at a Midwest University has received word he has been awarded a research grant and assistantship for the summer . He will earn as much as he would have had he worked his old job in retail here in Medford which he has done the last four summers.
Thus he can spend the summer doing what he loves researching US history. His schedule is flexible enough he will be able to come home for a few weeks and spend the 4th of July and his birthday with his mom and dad. Our family loves spending the 4th of July in Ashland where they have an old fashioned parade, and concert in the park where before the concert an orator reads the Declaration of Independence.
We are very proud of him!
