call to service during the Korean War. Through it all, the allusive
mission continually resurfaced and eventually the real meaning of

If there is one memory we can't bury, it is most likely a school
memory. Whether you attended public or private school, or you were
taught at home, you spent some time of your life learning. Many of
us tend to gravitate towards the bad memories of school, and I am
sure that everyone has at least one bad memory or embarrassing
moment, but I was relieved and happy to see that many choose to
focus on the successes and the joy of school as well. This
compilation of memoirs encompasses the good and the not so good
memories of being in school. I would like to thank all of the
people who contributed to this anthology . The authors here are
teachers, artists, authors, and professionals from all walks of
life.

Sheriff, Jim Harrison, her father-in-law, had gone to investigate.
She must hold out for awhile longer - could she?
