Hoping every Griz fan has a safe and sane Memorial Day weekend, and keeps it in his mind why we celebrate this day.

Although, I don't know if representing the United Fruit Company's interests in places like Honduras and Nicaragua during the "Banana Wars" was all that noble, he seemed to be proud of it. Here's to you Grandpa.....

Another came back a shell of himself and I can't imagine the weight that must weigh on his mind for the things he had to do to keep our way of life the way it is. I'm just a teacher I didn't have to give what he did and I am extremely grateful for him.
"Just a teacher..."
I owe un-payable debts to teachers. I am certain many of your students appreciate you...or they will someday.
