 Durham is outdoorsman, musician, and now serviceman
Adventure after Adventure
BY TRACY SIMMONS
AVALANCHE-JOURNAL
"Grant Durham, a recent Lubbock home-school graduate, will begin his enrollment at West Point Military Academy this month.
"'It's a great time to be serving your country," he said. "To me, it's like I'm going to the military so someone else doesn't have to.'
"He said he's always liked the military, and after a weeklong camp at West Point a year ago, knew it's where he belonged.
"'I'm a little nervous,' he said, 'but I'm ready to get on with it.'"

Clean Up and Clear Out!
Ah, the beginning of a new school year! New books, new schedule, fresh enthusiasm, new resolve, and clean closets! Clean closets? Is that a requirement? Well, not exactly a requirement, but the best advice I received when, years ago, we began to homeschool was the advice that a friend laughingly gave in reply to my question, "Where do we start?" She humorously said, "I don't know for sure, but I think we should clean our closets!"
