More summer studies for Andy

In a 1912 Elizabethan-style building used as a Yale University dormitory, Andy spent two weeks this summer learning the basics of writing computer programs in C++ and Java.

The iD Programming Academy course was offered by the same outfit that runs the iD Tech Camp and iD Gaming Academy programs that Andy enjoyed in past summers. This was a more advanced course, and Andy said he learned a lot from it.

Dan, Julie and Christine all made the trip to New Haven to drop Andy off, and then visited Christine's freshman-year RIT roommate and her parents at their home in nearby Bethany, Conn.

When Julie drove up to bring Andy home, she took the opportunity to stop by New Haven's Grove Street Cemetery and visit the grave of a distant relative -- lexicographer and author Noah Webster.
