Chapter 64

“Looks good to me, Holmes.”

“Great. Now we go to Part B of the problem.”

“Part B?”

“Part B is where I print out a list of the stations and their addresses along with a calendar—then we work out a schedule.”

“Let’s do it.”

“You’re really getting excited about this, aren’t you?”

“You bet. This a lot more fun than graduate school.”

“Yeah, I guess it is. Speaking of school, are you gonna go for a doctorate next?”

“It means another year’s work, but yes—I need the credentials to teach, especially at the college level.”

“How about teaching at a private high school such as Episcopal High?”

“A master’s might do for that, but a doctorate would mean more money.”

“Then go for it.”

“Yeah.”
