Day 1514: Calling hours

The Cassadaga principal cancelled all after school activities today so students and staff could pay their respects to the family of their lost friend.  The poor young man who was killed this weekend in a tractor accident was greatly loved.  The principal made the right call.  Backpackers missed a class, but young men and women learned a more important lesson about compassion and caring.

Instead, I was able to go with Steve to Silver Creek and meet our troops.  Three guys and three girls, all a bit shy.  It's going to be difficult to develop any sort of relationship with them since we also have to be in Cassadaga on Wednesdays.  Plus, the activity period is so short!  Next week, their adviser will teach the map class while we both go to Cassadaga so Steve can meet those kids.  The following week, Kathy will teach the ladies' class in SC while I go back to Cassadaga.
