Telling Stories

Karen, Bear and their friend Sister Marguerite dropped by this afternoon. Tashie and Sister Marguerite, also a former school principal, compared notes, and George as well - he amused us with some stories of renegades - some that Tashie herself had never heard. In one reminiscence, he described teaching his fifth graders about clouds, and then seeing some amazing formations in the sky, decided to take his class down to the beach to see them more clearly. He piled nine kids into his VW Beetle: 2 in the front with him; 1 on the floor in front; 4 on the back seat; and 2 on the floor in back. Before leaving, he rehearsed the roles they would play should they be stopped by the law. Tashie looked up and said, "Well, I never knew about that!"
