Headed East Again... back to Taft for the Summer

Well, here we are at the "traditional start of the summer season", Memorial Day Weekend. In three weeks, I will take off driving to the East, headed back to Taft for another summer of living in HDT, teaching kids from all around the globe who want to learn... this is a real change from my "day job" teaching kids who not only have "special needs" but who have been expelled from traditional high schools!

This year my route is a bit different: through Colorado, like last year, and a dinner with Bo and Sandy Chapin (and, I really hope, Charlie Angulo)... then across Nebraska, and more or less following the Missouri River to Saint Louis, on to Lexington, Kentucky, and down to Chapel Hill, North Carolina to drop off a 55 year old radio to a friend who wants it far more than I, then up through Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, into Connecticut to drop off some things, and then to Boston to pick up Nancy at the airport.

My (well, actually Nancy's) grandson will fly into Denver to meet me and make the drive east more fun. We'll all visit relatives and friends in New England for a few days before settling into dorm life and summer school...

I am stoked at the prospect of seeing more classmates this summer, and seeing how the "new" dining room is being changed - the "boat" shaped tables introduced in our senior year, and the subsequent changes to the dining areas are being totally made over... Be on the look out for pictures right here!

Later, '61s
