My
husband interned at Hilldale High School in Muskogee the year the
first graduating class walked across the stage. He started in the Math
Department. His sister, who taught computers (Nine Commodore
Pets--remember?) took a sabbatical one year....his principal called him
with the interesting question..."Do you want to volunteer to take over
the Computer Department, or shall assign it to you?" 32 years later,
there were 500 computers in the high school and the next year would have
brought a grand-child of one of his students into his classroom. I
really thought part of his bloodstream contained mortar from the
Hilldale buildings....but
Three years ago, my husband left Hilldale, to teach computers and become IT Director for Muskogee High School. He has 750 computers and 1600 laptops in eleven buildings that he has to co-ordinate to keep operating. He teaches a few Microsoft office classes, but his "pride and joy" are his computer repair classes. He has a three-year program--and his students that finish it receive a certificate from the state of Oklahoma that says that they are a Computer Technician with two years of experience. They also can take several nationally known computer and business knowledge tests while a student--most at the program's expense. Recently a reporter came out and did an article about his programs.

While she was interviewing my husband, I was in the next room tatting. I became the source of her next article.

I expected a one column article with a picture...a) it was in the Sunday paper b) it was a full page article c) online they posted a video of me tatting and d) the article was also posted on facebook with a few pictures that weren't in the paper!
This afternoon, I heard from my fourth grade Sunday School teacher who had seen the article! I hope that it not only puts me in touch with more people from my past, but that it also sends some people that are interested in learning how to tat my direction!
