Thanks so much, Hunter - this is from Tucker:

Terrific. Buck is applying to Georgetown college. Please edit as you see
fit. I think it's best if Hunter writes the president in time for his
letter to affect the early decision process. Super great of him to do this.
Thanks a lot. I love you.

He finished up junior year with As in all six of his courses at St.
George's: English, marine science, Spanish 4, algebra 2, US History and
ethics. So far this year, he's got an A in all three AP courses he's taking
(English, economics and American history) as well as in precalculus. He's
got a B plus in physics. He's been on the honor roll every semester since
he started in ninth grade.

He took the SAT last spring and got a perfect score, an 800, on the
critical reading section. He got a 660 in writing and a 620 in math. He's
retaking the test next month.

Last summer he did an internship with the Washington Free Beacon news site
here in town, which I think fueled his interest in politics and government,
and hence Georgetown. This year he's head of the largest club at St.
George's, which (amazingly) is the Young Republicans. He's a compulsive
reader, especially of history, and a pretty good squash player. He's also
an excellent fly fisherman, close to guide-level. He loves Washington, for
all the right reasons I think, and really wants to go to school here.
Finally, he's one of the funniest people I know. Not sure if that counts in
the admissions office, but Susie and I enjoy the hell out of it.

Buckley also loves the outdoors. He spent a month his Junior year on the
St, George's sailboat - the Geronimo - learning to navigate a boat and sail
from Florida to The Dominican Republic. (Maintaining his A average while he
did it.)  He did NOLS in Alaska the summer before that.

Thanks a TON, Hunter. Really hope to see you soon!
