Something to Be Proud Of

Dropping off your children for their first year of college often fills parents with a bittersweet combination of pride, excitement, and sadness. This week, Dr. Milt Lowder will experience this rite of passage as his son, Jay Lowder, leaves the nest to start his freshman year at Clemson University. As part of a tradition Milt has done for each of his children, Milt picked "Something to Be Proud Of" by Montgomery Gentry as Jay's song when he was a toddler - one that captures the powerful connection between a father and son. So it's no surprise that the message of this song perfectly captures the theme of this conversation as Milt and Jay look back over the last eighteen years and look forward to the future.
