The Third grade was over. Mrs. Lee was all I'd hoped her to be. She taught us well and we were ready for Fourth Grade. Most of us wished we could have Mrs. Lee for that too. I worked hard and finished the year with four A's and three B's. Mrs. Lee would comment: " It has been a real pleasure to have worked with Jimmy. He has a wonderful sense of values and sincere desire to get the most out of his work."
Sincerely,
Thelma B. Lee
So I had made an impression. Mrs. Lee would have to deal with my brother Carl in a few years! Night and day Mrs. Lee, night and day.
Summer was coming and so were days at the lake and Fourth of July and playing army in the woods. A chance for us to watch the home run race and see another American astronaut go up into the sky. No duck and cover, no homework for a while. Let's skip stones on the lake and climb Freund's Cliff. Bike rides through town and toy soldiers in the sand. Another summer to run and play with Whee-Zee by my side. It would be another glorious time of year with nothing to spoil our fun, nothing more for us to fear. Or would it?
