Hi E. & P., I’ve responded to your comments point by point below. Please look for these arrows: >>>>>>>>>>> Mark, I just had a conversation with our daughter last evening as she is going out and telling everyone that we do not support her in her future endeavor in sports. >>>>>>>>>>> I hear you saying that your daughter is mad because you are not on the same page with her regarding college (justifiably so).
