We want to say Congratulations to our Dad & Husband - Freddie Joseph McCulley (A.K.A.) Joey,Daddy Joe,& PawPaw. Dads been a student at the Career & Tech. Center of Cape Girardeau,Mo.and also attended classes online thru Mineral Area College. Dad has put 3 1/2 yrs of hardwork and effort full time towards his schooling, and also worked a part time job. Thru this all he managed to hold a 3.8 GPA. So many times us kids would tease him and say "Hurry up dad and dont forget your back pack", or "we dont want ya to get a tardy". Or "no TV until all homework was done". Dont think we forgot all those yrs nagging us! We'd all laugh and he would just go along with the jokes. But despite it all dad attended his College Graduation at Park Hills,Mo. on Sat.May 09,2009. Where he received his Associates Degree in Electronics/Computer Technology. Dads future plans are a recent exceptance at SEMO University where he will start his summer classes and go into the following yr towards his Bachelors Degree. The family, Mom and all 4 kids and both grandkids are so proud of you with all your complishments. We know its just a matter of time and all college courses will fall into place. GOOD LUCK IN THE FUTURE YRS TO COME " YOU COLLEGE BOY YOU"
