Big Changes
They made daughter in law Niki an offer they couldn't refuse (nor would I have), and she and Jackson and Eli are off to work and live at what may be the most unique college in the US: Deep Springs. Photos by Jackson, zooming in:
I will encourage Jack to write something about the place. The location is as unique as the school; hours from any city, just west of the California- Nevada line, in a closed desert basin below the Sierras, on a working ranch. They actually have an endemic toad.

Best of luck to the Peculiar family. Beautiful country, but sorry it is so far away.
No, way! I know Deep Springs College well. My grandfather and two great-uncles went there in the teens and 20s. I was Administrative Director of Telluride Association, which was founded by the same person as Deep Springs, and attended Deep Springs board meetings for about five years. I love that place (as will your daughter-in-law and family).
I believe it! The connections between St John's and Deep Springs run deep too.
Jack considered Deep Springs many years ago, with our approval. I wish I had known it existed when I was young.
If you have lost my email it is "ebodio at gilanet dot com". I will copy to Tim for forwarding.
I'd say all parties involved are getting a huge win-win. Match made in heaven. Best wishes on the new adventure! J Ball
