We did it! Both our kids are graduated from High School now. Woot woot!
Our ‘Scooter’ graduated the other night, he was in the top 20 of his class, NHS, VP of STUCO, and earned many other honors, one of our favorites being the John Philip Sousa award. It’s bittersweet for me especially – I was very, very involved in our district for many, many years (volunteering, coaching & substitute teaching). But I’m glad to move on to other things, and very much excited for his future. He plans to go to university here in MO in the fall.
Please contact me if you’d like to make a donation to his college fund! …Just kidding… (not really!) haha!

Famous St. Louisan – she will be missed.
Time says this about her colorful past: When Maya Angelou was 16 she became not only the first black streetcar conductor in San Francisco but the first woman conductor. By the time she was 40 she had also been, in no particular order, a cook, a waitress, a madam, a prostitute, a dancer, an actress, a playwright, an editor at an English-language newspaper in Egypt, and a Calypso singer (her one album is entitled “Miss Calypso.”) It wasn’t until 1970, when she was 41, that she became an author: her first book, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, told the story of her life up to the age of 17. That remarkable life story ended today at the age of 86.
