That’s right, 2 1/2 consecutive years at the same school!!!
First attempt at a college degree: 2 years at Concordia College, St. Paul MN
Second attempt: 3 1/2 weeks at Concordia College, St. Paul MN
Third attempt: one semester at Augsburg Weekend College, Minneapolis MN
Fourth attempt: I just started a welding class at St. Paul College. Other than a ceramics class in my first misguided stab at college, it’s the first time in all my school career that I’ve gone to class because I’ve wanted too, and not out of a sense of obligation. It only took 30 years. Not bad.
One Comment so far...

Congrats! on started school again–its more fun as you get older ( I think at least). St Paul is a fun school- maybe I’ll see you there some time…though shop classes are a little out of my league
