Dear Christine,

you may know that Gloria is on her European Godwriting tour at the moment. Since she and Heaven Admin are using a motor home, they don't have access to the internet most of the time. Which means that it can take some time until she is able to respond to you.

But it seems a fairly safe guess that A's and E's are academic grades, A being the best, E (or F, depending on where you are in America) the worst.

Here's a Wikipedia entry telling all about this:

I hope this helps.
Love,
Jochen
