You definitely have a lot to be proud of. Kids are like sponges absorbing far more from their parents than we could ever imagine. Something tells me they probably had good role models!

Congratulations Steve, thats huge and a good reason to be proud.
My son passed his FE but only a few know what that means.

Thanks for the kind words all.

Jack: that’s great.  My understanding is the FE has gotten tougher over the years.  Is he an EE?

You guessed it. I also did something right lol.
As far as the FE being tougher, maybe - it's been so long ago that I don't remember or was of any help to him.
