Thank you for sharing this story!

Fantastic ! Congratulations Andrae ...keep up the good work !

Now there is a "feel good" story.

And for the history buffs, Mannings High School has been graduating students since 1738 - YES - the year 1738 - well before the USA became the USA....

Very interesting, Rob! And, kudos to the Princeton bound student! What an accomplishment!

I did my graduate work at Princeton in 66 - 67. Glad to see he'll be there. Of course he's gonna love those Jersey winters. Can you say slush?

Hooray for Princeton...Hooray for Princeton...Hooray for Princeton....'cause Harvard SUCKS!

Would that all Jamaican young men and women had that same opportunity - congratulations Andrae!
