"Up at 5:15 a.. and drove in a light rain to the headquarters and arrived just as Jeanne was opening it. Wished her a happy birthday (40th and what a way to celebrate it) and had a cup of coffee. The one teacher who graduated from Palatine in 1970 was there, too.
"M.H. dropped by and we took the clipboard with check-in lists back to Magee. Again, we had people reporting in late and leaving early.

We still have several people who haven't shown up on the line. We were very happy when A.W. finally showed up. We had been greatly worried that she would cross the line."
Bad News Scabs.
