Promotion Our son, Chris, is a premed student at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro. He is fortunate to have a job in the research lab, where they are studying Lyme disease. Recently he called home and told us that he had received a promotion. "Great!" I said. "You can always use more money." There was a slight pause before Chris responded, "Well, I didn't exactly get more money. But they did give me more keys."
