You guys will do fine. Your dad is very lucky that the two of you are so willing to step up to the plate. You never know what you can do until you're smack dab in the middle of it. I'm proud of you both. Hang in there and let me know if I can do anything to help.
You misread the article....it didn't say anything about "smart" people, it referred to educated folks. As you and I both know, one doesn't necessarily lead to the other!!!
