The day after graduation he is heading east.

He will be doing a junior fellowship at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C.

Ted found out last week that he had been awarded a

Ted, there isn't a cookie large enough to tell you how much I love you and how proud I am of the man you have become. 

Love,
Mom
