And way before the 1950’s most schools celebrated George...

Before my story about the warm up could run in the paper, the bottom fell out as far as weather and we plunged back into frigid temperatures and more snow, snow and snow ad nauseum. I had to scrap that story and hope for another warmup. The recent spring-like day on...
