I am so sorry to hear that Nathan's father passed away. My thoughts are with Nathan and his family. I will never forget our field trip to The Great Alaskan Bowl Company that Tom organized after the Fort Knox field trip fell through because our first graders weren't old enough to go to the mine. Take Care.
