[QUOTE="DDD, post: 516691, member: 35"] Makes me think of Who's Who solicitations. Back in the 50's husband was invited to be in the Who's Who In American Colleges. We still have the issue on our bookshelves and it is "proof" to husband that he started with nothing but achieved notable honors based on sheer hardwork. Twenty years later I received a letter inviting me to be in Who's Who in the SE (or something like that, lol) and I was impressed. I was the single Mom of three, active in my community, fairly successful in real estate sales...it made me feel great. Then I realized I had to include a check when I submitted my app. oops..no extra money...forget it. Ten years ago I received a letter inviting me to be in Who's Who is southern business ?? something like that. OOPS. Yeah I'm a southern woman. Yeah I am President of a Corp. Good grief am I a success?? Heck, no. And that "invitation" I assume is the last one I'll receive. And yes, I had to write a check to be included...for more money than the earlier invite. Life gets weirder and weirder and people use others for financial gain. I am sure your difficult child is a smart kid. Very odd to me that he has been out of mainstream schools for a few years...and yet he is being "invited" to join the movers and shakers. Darn..I wish I hadn't turned into a jaded old lady.
