Thank...Kristy and David,<BR/><BR/>You're both making my day! Thanks for your willingness. I am already pumped about this, and seeing good people eager to jump on board just fires me up even more. Although, David, I find it suspicious that you claim to have only "heard" about Mrs. McNamara's paddle.Jeff Bergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851404940918850330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415462951121361307.post-11970776535483589022008-05-20T14:10:00.000-05:002008-05-20T14:10:00.000-05:00I attended McNamara (it was called Richmond then) ...I attended McNamara (it was called Richmond then) from 1963-1970, back when Mrs. McNamara was the school principal. She was a wonderful principal and we all had a healthy respect for her. This was during the days of corporal punishment and word on the street was that she had an electric paddle in her office. My mom was the school nurse, so I was never able to pull the old math-test "I don't feel good" routine. It's extra special to think of going back there to serve the Lord. Sign me up for tutoring, landscaping or whatever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415462951121361307.post-56531435517126344932008-05-20T10:33:00.000-05:002008-05-20T10:33:00.000-05:00Jeff--I am so pleased that movement is being made ...Jeff--I am so pleased that movement is being made with this mission. I would definitely like to serve as a tutor and I would say to anyone that might be interested in being a tutor, it is amazing the response you can get from a child by just providing them some respectful attention. Since volunteering as a tutor for several years now, I've located free resources available so that you don't have to "reinvent the wheel" when working with the kids. Will continue praying.<BR/> KristyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
