Taken from my journal.
DECEMBER 2, 1994, FRIDAY: D.B. and I went out to deliver the rest of the RLEA's (Round Lake Education Association) Straight Talk flyers to residents (this was union's effort to inform the parents what was really going on instead of the board's half-truths. Those of us delivering were called UPS, Union Postal Service.) and found out the ones given us were from two weeks ago so decided not to deliver anymore.
We went to a rally at Hart's Woods (off Il-134) and actually had decent weather for a change (we now had been on strike since October 17th and it was getting MIGHTY COLD!!). M.D. did a great rendition of "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" to the new name "School Board Got Run Over By the Teachers."
Went to Ellis School for two hours. Lakeland Newspaper editor W.S. had a particularly scathing editorial about us next to a full page ad signed by 170 people supporting the board. N.S. was particularly upset about it. (W.S. has always been anti-teacher in the overpaid, underworked bent so anything he says can be dismissed as standard for him.)
K.P. is worried that she is going to get retribution for things she has done in the strike.
Drove to Costello's where I ate and then came home to watch TV.
Just Another day on the Line. --Cooter
