A Penny for Caleb's Thoughts

I wish to congratulate my son for taking 1st Runner Up in an Alzheimer's Foundation of America scholarship essay contest with almost 1800 participants.  His essay, entitled A Penny for Your Thoughts: A Jar of Memories, interweaves his favorite memory of his grandfather with his memories of the experience of losing his grandfather to Alzheimer's disease.  The essay is brilliantly written and marks Caleb as a writer to follow in the years to come.
