OT--Congrats are in order!
My dad, who I roped into officiating basketball with me last season, just successfully defended his doctoral dissertation this morning at Northern Illinois University!!

He couldn't take any games this season because he's been working towards this final goal, but hopefully now that it's done he can get back into it. He also does baseball.

Congrats, Pops!

Congrats from me, too. Only the best and the brightest go to Northern. Oh - did I mention that's where I went to college?

Tell your dad I said high and welcome to that PhD family. Hard work for sure and a good post from a son.

Congrats and welcome to the PhD club. Or as my pops said, Piled Higher n Deeper
And don't let where SOME went to college tarnish that great achievement!

Oh the jokes have been flying since he even entertained the idea of pursuing his doctorate!
