You took books home?
either that or get the pointer or meter stick across my bum for not turning in homework.
I had the clear plastic fold'over top one when I was in 7th - and 8th - and earlier, I think it was the zippy ones. Hey, I've got one of those pointers at home from the school, so no one better get out of line -- right JJO?
On my trip to DC. I took etchings of the names of St. Jude grads who gave their lives for our country in Vietnam. I've also posted them on the St. Jude FB page

z, that sure brings it home. When I visited the WWII memorial and saw the Illinois pylon, I literally cried as my dad was born south of Chicago and it made me feel I was with him again - I had donated to the fund to build the monument. I didn't know any of the Vietnam vets, but all those years I saw that plaque in church, I am totally humbled. Thanks for bringing this to us.
You're quite welcome laing. I can't even begin to describe my emotions when I went to the WWII Memorial and the Iwo Jima monument. Let's just say I was overwhelmedz, that sure brings it home.

Z, thank you so much for this important contribution to our St. Jude group, and more importantly, for honoring these brave men and their families in this way.
I just noticed the rubbing for Albert Sayer. I wonder if that was Miss Sayer's brother.
I carried my books naked in my arms in 6th, 7th and 8th grade. I'm sure I had some sort of book bag that also cracked and stuck when I was much younger.
"All of the above?"
Why, Father, which word do you prefer?
Same here Laing...They must have been on sale at Kresge or the "new" K Mart on 9 and Harper.
I will bring the pointer - and a box of erasers that need to be clapped! EMG will be busy for quite some time!
thinking about cleaning erasers, what did we used to do to clean the desktops of the old wooden lift topped desks at year end?
murphy's oil soap?
Z: Thank You. Many of us at St. Jude remember when the memorial plaque by the Blessed Mother statue was installed and the feeling of awe, gratitude, and sympathy that was felt after reading the names of those who gave the ultimate sacrafice during Vietnam.On my trip to DC.

Looks like we got a triple-header on tap for today: Michigan, State and Notre Dame, and the Tigs. I'll have to work fast and mow the lawn during half-time.
