FSI, yes, it's one of the best assignments a student could have. My
granddaughter attends an excellent school with teaching methods similar to the Montessori System.

Justi, in recent years, though, many kids don't learn. Have you heard how
so many folks answer random questions by reporters on the street? Some don't know who was first U.S. Prez, or even who's running for office today.

Wiley, granddaughter just kept wanting to know more and more. History does

It is so strange that the kids want to know. I don't think it was so long ago myself.

| I like the cow. Did it turn out alright love
For myself I ran into the founding pastor of my church's son Joel and our Sunday school classmate Abby on the public high school class Circle Line cruise on Manhattan's Hudson River. A guy that went to the high school, another member of the graduating class hung with them. He was a big guy. He lifted me up. He carried me to th3e edge of the ship. 1, 2, 3 ... Joel saved me. I think that he talked him out of it. Ironically Wynn worked in the tropical fish department of the department store in town. My friend that has Parkinson's Disease seriously and I found him there. We bulled. So it goes Re ... BC-A, Bill’s R®st

oh you mean you want me to be serious.....hmnn, actually I answered those
questions some almost 20 years ago for a friends daughter...I was in my 40's still tasting life....and their conclusion that I had lived a hard life!
I felt quite insulted. I was living and experiencing so much and they were wealthy spoilt city brats...Mother and daughter.
