TomVH: About This Weekend

I had posted this on Wednesday or Thursday, I can't remember, but then deleted it because I didn't think he wanted it out there. Since it's been out now for awhile and people are asking I'll just post that Kyle Kalis is visiting with his family this weekend.

Like I've said before I think he wants a decent amount of privacy with all this, so I was surprised that this was out there. I spoke with him last night and he hadn't settled on a day to visit yet. I'll talk to him tomorrow to find out if he's coming in tomorrow or Sunday. He wants his mom to see everything that he saw on his last visit. This is a big deal for Michigan.

I haf heard they are on vacation.  I hope that the school itself along with his own glowing reviews about it are enough to convince his mom.

I guess it all depends on where he is right now.  I'm sure if we get his mom into the academic center to speak to one of the advisors she will be sold.  I heard moms like those sorts of things.

we're freaking out over the possibility of a kid as talented and as high character as you visiting Michigan with your family, but we also appreciate what a difficult decision this may be for you. We hope whatever decision you do make is the right one for you and if you commit to noone until NSD then we perfectly understand.

Sincerely,
