Senftinger.  “Typed” on a typewriter! I’m dating myself!

Peter is currently at Rutgers and my younger son, Richard, was admitted and will be attending in the fall. While we wanted to leave the options open for him, it was Richard’s first and only choice. His acceptance package remains on the kitchen table. This brings to mind the movie The Blind
