I taught for over 30 years some of those years as a sub. Kids always make great stories. You can't make up what they say. I still say my favorite was the kid that said to me, "He hit me back first." He expected me to do something about that!! Keep the stories coming.<BR/>Love the battlefield pictures and stories too. <BR/>SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22656823.post-8708318606217490632008-01-07T05:36:00.000-05:002008-01-07T05:36:00.000-05:00Thanks, Mannie ...

Like you I know and study the brave men and women of the civil war era. We are nothing like them! I find myself being very discouraged and was wondering how you deal with it.<BR/><BR/>FL DeputyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
