Goodbye 04-05-05

Bond's into hiking, camping, and something called
"geocaching". He is a student of direct marketing. And he
has had (with my guidance) enough success in that field to
live exactly the life and lifestyle he wants to live.

Bond has said he's VERY appreciative of the letters I wrote
to him. And although he doesn't follow all my teachings with
religious zeal, he does follow most of them... and... they
have helped lead him down the path to a happy, complacent
life.

One nice thing resulting from "The Boron Letters" is, he
(Bond) has already started writing letters to his own
daughter and son... even though... they are not yet old
enough to read them. Even so, one day he will have a
treasure trove of wit and wisdom to give them and leave as
his legacy.

What we have started here is, I believe, a new family
tradition.

I
never wanted Bond to get a college education because I think
they are basically worthless. But he did get one any way
(without my help). He has a degree in International Business
Administration. One of the things I'm very proud of, is Bond
has said to several people he learned more in a half day
hanging out with his father than he did in all his years
spent at college.

And for what it's worth, Bond said I should tell all my
readers he is pretty much satisfied with the father he
has... so... he's not shopping around for another one.

On
the other hand, Bond has done something to disgrace the
Halbert family name. As far as I know, no Halbert male
(before Bond) ever married a woman... unless... that woman
was pregnant. After all...
