If you are asking about the Clothier house, the answer is YES! Matty completed his PhD on Friday! And when I say completed, I mean passed - WITH HONORS! We are all so proud of him! I ran into one of the professors from his committee, and the nice things he said about Matty's work and character brought a tear to my eye. He called him "knowledgeable, self possessed, human, well spoken" and then one other committee member told him that he was "a very nice boy." All in all, they were clearly very pleased with his work. If you are curious, Matty wrote his "book/paper" over a poet named Robert Duncan and how he and a few other poets have influenced poetry about space and fields. (Hopefully, Matty will be proud of my synopsis!)

Who does that and the accolades the professors gave to you will stay with you for a life time.
All the reading, studying, staying up late,being a very much hands on Dad in raising a boy from birth to 1 year old during this past year says it all. You are a very special young man and we love you so much and are so glad you are married to my beautiful granddaughter. Congratulation once more and be proud of all you have done.

Way to go Matty! I never had any doubts that you could do it. You have always been "a very nice boy". :-) Oh, and knowledgable, self-possessed, human, and well spoken too. We are very proud of you.
