DECEMBER 2, 1994, FRIDAY: Missed Dino's (in Fox Lake, Illinois, where I always met teachers on Fridays for breakfast) because I overslept. I decided to go to the high school entrance instead of Murphy School as I wanted to greet Georgia Boy. In honor of his presence, i was wearing my University of Georgia hat and jacket. (He had been fired from his teaching job in Georgia because of the one minute of silence requirement, something I admired him for, but he then came here to SCAB.) I intended to call him a hypocritical carpetbagger, but settled for hypocritical scalawag. There weren't very many people there.
I went to the strike headquarters for awhile and then to Magee and walked in front for awhile. Evon, our social worker, and I went out on a UPS delivery (Union Postal Service) to area homes but came up short on pages and went back to the Headquarters for more. A non-tenure teachers' meeting was going on there and these people have been great. Only two of the 60 have crossed the line.
More to Come. --Cooter
