Hey Jo Jo — We’re all proud of your many successes this year. Personally, I think that Dean’s List thing is the most impressive. Keep up the good grades and there’s no limit to where you can go — it will open doors for your 3rd and 4th year of college, and well beyond. I’ll spread the word among all the South Texas Carter’s about your accomplishments — if I don’t get too tired just reciting them!! Way to go!
