hollywoodnews.com: Annie Potts admits, “I was not quite prepared to have an empty nest” – but such is soon to be the case for the former “Designing Women” star, whose three boys “are just about all grown. The oldest is 29 now. The middle son is graduating this week, and the youngest is a freshman off to boarding school in the fall. My work is done.”
She adds, “The little one chose to go to boarding school. He saw the older one leaving for college and thought, ‘If he’s going, I’m going.’ I thought, ‘Oh, man. I thought had another four years,’ but I’m thrilled for his opportunity. He’s going to a fine school. I believe we have arrived at this place now where they will now take their place in the world. I do have mixed emotions about it.

The following is a special an nouncement never heard be fore in the Continental Us: I just saw a great Hallmark Channel original movie. Ok, I've said it and I mean it. "Freshman Father" is based on the true story of John Wand, an 18-year-old kid from Iowa who was about to enter Harvard on a full ride when he found out that his high school girlfriend was pregnant. Although the real story took place in 1970, for movie purposes, it has been updated to present times -- but it loses nothing in the transition.
