Chapter 133

Dear Brother,

Whatever you do you better get home to Marissa. She needs you and the fact that you are gallivanting across the universe is almost criminal. Yes, I did use a big word. Your sister has been sitting in on some college level lectures.

Fine, I cheat on that. I've written that we have several former college professors in the unit. Well, a couple of them confessed that they actually enjoyed teaching, so ... we now have Trinary University on Wadi. It's not a big school. We have the three professors from our tank squad who were willing to found it. We also discovered that three of our concubines have masters degrees and can teach at a college level. Hillary even convinced Professor Paxson that she's almost ready to receive her doctorate.

They have some kind of deal worked out where she finishes her class work with his support and they'll get her certified as having earned her degree somehow.

Anyways, since Erica and I are nursing newborn babies, we decided to sit in on a few classes. Professor Paxson studied societies and cultures, so his class is an examination of social dynamics in what he calls a surplus culture. I think he's using the students as research subjects, but he does get a good crowd. I even got John out of his chemistry lab to take a few classes.
