MR. DUDE

After

4 years of planning and studying

25 applications

5 trips across the country

a bunch of rejections

hundreds of hours of volunteer work

and thousands of dollars,

DRUM ROLL PLEASE

Gary has been accepted to medical school at Michigan State!

We celebrated by having a green and white day --

Green and white balloons

Green and white food

and to top it off, a green and white Spartan cake.

Gary wrote a letter about it to all of his beloved students, parents,

and fellow teachers at Wasatch.

He said, in closing, "Don't worry.

Wherever I go, the MD after my name will always stand for "Mr. Dude."

(In case you don't know, that's what the kids call him.)

Gary, way to hang in there.

I'm proud of you.
