Patrick Freeman (EMBA) and his wife are finally “empty nesters” and are embarking on a project to return their home to its original state. Their oldest is looking forward to beginning medical studies (c/o the Bank of Mom and Dad) while the youngest is entering his third year of carpentry. The Freemans recently brought home a four-legged “child,” a poodle, to fill the house with laughter and more exercise, giving father and son a reason to build a small fence to keep “the little fluff bucket” in the yard.
