Hey y'all!  Fran LaMantia  aka  Fran E. Pooh here! This is a new thing for me to do, but here I go.  My son Tony aka Grey  has one more class to go to finish college.  He is going to get a BS in Math, with a minor in Physics from the University of Pittsburgh.   The class is called Differential Equations, which to be honest, I don't even know what that is.  He is sooo close to having an great avenue to financial opportunities and making a good career for himself!   Damn covid! He lost his second job (at an Escape Room) this year due to covid. He is still working at the library at U. of Pittsburgh in the resource center.  He's been working with VR( virtual reality), 3D printing and AR (augmented reality) programming.  He was supposed to get a grant for this coming year to continue with the AR ,but that fell through due to covid.  He is struggling to just pay the bills,  so there is nothing left over for tuition.  It's his last semester only one class, dammit.  The tuition is 2,000 and to take the class is 1,000.  It's been such a frustrating time.  He's a great guy, when he was 15 years old he use to work the door on Wednesday night at Body Choir. He worked with Oscar and Laura Rose. They were the "Space Commanders " and he was the "Space Cadet"!   He's been working really hard for this degree y'all.  I just hate that he's so close yet so far.  I love my baby boy so much and I just don't have the finances to help. If you can spare just a little, it would be a great help.   He's gonna do such cool and interesting things!  Love, hugs and kisses!  Fran E. Pooh
