Gracie's Wonderful Granddaughter

[Pturner]

Hi y'all,

You might know that GG's talented granddaughter, Graylyn Roose, earned a coveted student internship on the Today Show. Here's an article in the Ohio University Scripps College of Communication newsletter about the program and the academic excellence of the interns:

Gracie:

Fall in New York is a wonderful time of year.

My wish for Graylyn is to learn a lot and have an exciting career.

You must be busting buttons with pride.

Best wishes to your family.

Congratulations, Gracie, how exciting for your granddaughter and your family!

By the way, she is also a very pretty young lady, and I can see her resemblance to you.

Graciegirl, I want to thank Graylyn for her hard work and you for passing along such great genes. But I especially want to thank you both for providing this inspiring story in view that so many about our young people are so negative. finally I want to thank Pturner for bring this to our attention. We need more of this..................

[tainsley]

Congratulations to Graylyn for all her hard work! You must be so so proud of her Gracie!

[jojo]

Gracie, I'll echo all of the kudos above. Ohio University has one of the top journalism programs in the country and to be selected as an intern for the Today show is an extraordinary opportunity. Let me know when she is in the city - perhaps I can see her.

[ssmith]

well now ain't that nice! (Just practicing southern speak ;))

[graciegirl]

Oh gosh.

You made my eyes get all wet.

Thank you most kindly. She takes after her grandfather and her mother.

CONGRATS Gracie and family and thank you, Pturner for telling us!

[herbaru]

Oh wow Gracie, this is a great opportunity for your granddaughter! I am sure she worked hard to earn it. Congratulations to Graylan!

[bkcunningham1]

Oh gosh.

You made my eyes get all wet.

Thank you most kindly. She takes after her grandfather and her mother.


Gracie, unlike you; modesty is my best quality! You always make me smile.

[jebartle]

you must be soooo proud.......Congrats!

Gracie,

Excellent opportunity for your granddaughter and great networking opportunties are often available for interns. You learn a lot about the real world of work by being an intern.

[uujudy]

One thing about Gracie and Graylyn - they are also the best of friends. What a special relationship!

[duffysmom]

It's refreshing to hear good things about young people today since we hear so much of the bad behavior in the media.:BigApplause:

Love the name "Graylyn" and we all love Gracie.....

DM,

I believe her name is a composite of her two grandmas' names...very sweet!

[graciegirl]

It is Kate and how nice of you to remember such trivia.

Graylyn is a combination of Grace and Carolyn. In many ways...just as our grandchildren all are. Our treasures and our legacy and our reason to try to do well and our greatest pride.

Thank you all for your kind words. I have passed them on to Graylyn.

Just had to add my warmest congratulations to Gracie and to Graylyn. You must be so proud of her, Gracie, as well you should be! What a special honor. Will you be giving us a heads up whenever Graylyn might be making a "special appearance" on the show?? Such a great opportunity for her! She has a built-in audience of TOTVers already! :pepper2:

Thank you, Pturner, for posting this and allowing us to send our good wishes to Miss Gracie.

[Uptown Girl]

Hope she has a great learning experience, makes many new friends and has a lot of fun along the way! Tell her to take lots of pictures, she'll enjoy them even more 20 years from now!!!

[obxgal]

Oh how wonderful for Graylyn having made such an accomplishment. You and her parents have much to be proud of.
