(I've probably mentioned this family before on this forum. I don't know them personally but my wife does because she knows everybody since she runs the little 1 person post office.)
Little town I live outside of (pop about 230), is a family that has 6 kids. They homeschool. In yesterdays weekly paper from the town of 2000, 15 miles away, one of the boys in the family is the Valedictorian for this school year. The family homeschools until the kid is a sophomore or junior, and then they go to the high school 15 miles away.
This is the 3rd time (in my almost 8 years of living here) that one of their kids is the valedictorian. The oldest got a full scholarship to Texas A&M and graduated with honors 1 1/2 years ago. The 2nd boy is presently going to Texas A&M on scholarship. This 3rd one I guess will do the same. There are still 2 more boys and one girl at home. The youngest is 6 y/o.
They have a small brick home, with several acres, just inside the city limits of our town. They garden and have a few animals they raise. Everything about them is neat as a pin. When one, or more, of them come into the post office you have never met more relaxed, friendly, pleasant, well-mannered, and put together folks. The parents are just salt of the earth good people. The kids are a joy to talk to (according to my wife) and not a bit of fake or phoneyism to them. Several times I have driven by their place and seen them at work or play. They seem like genuinely happy people.
