She is looking to go to a specialized portfolio school, which involves a road trip with her friends to Miami, New York, and Chicago (mmm...) My son, Scott, 24, graduated a year ago from University of Colorado, and is now working his way around the world, gaining classroom experience, as he calls it, to be an elementary school teacher. With no more tuition assistance needed, maybe I can plan a trip, too!” CHRISTINE GELARDIN writes: “I am back in New York City having returned home to the Upper East Side.
