On friday morning, Seth's faithful teacher came at 10:30.  Right on the dot!  Seth was outside on the porch anxiously waiting for him.  He hadn't come for a couple of weeks.  First time, Seth was just out of it from a few seizures.  Second time, Mr. Wells had family visiting.  This time, however, even though there was not school for the public sector, he came for Seth's sake.  We really appreciate him coming. Seth feels so good to have that kind of one on one teacher attention!  Even though Seth has turned 21 and there is no more reponsibility on the part of the school system, Mr. Wells could not just "leave" Seth.  Seth was very happy to have him keep coming each week.

In due appreciation, Seth wrote a letter of thanks to Mr. Wells.  He read it right away when he arrived.  Seth made sure of that!  On the table was a paper bag.  On the bag, it said "To Mr. Wells"  Mr. Wells picked up the bag.  It was light.  Not much to it.  He opened it up and a face peered back at him. "Gasp!"  "What in the world?  I thought it was a cat!"  He pulled out a coonskin cap!  "I have always wanted one of these!  Ever since I was a kid and lived in Kentucky and watched Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone, I wanted one of these!" He roared, laughing the whole time.

"I am going to put this on my head! Look, Seth! It fits!  I must look funny!  Wait til my wife sees this!  My daughter will laugh, my grandkids will love it! Thank you sooo much!"

I went to Seth's room and brought out his coonskin cap that Sylvia had given to him when we visited in Arkansas last month.  She makes them for thousands of people! Renaissance, Boy Scouts, Coon clubs, you name it.  She has quite a business making people happy!  http://crockettcoonskincaps.tripod.com

Once they both were donned with hats, I proceeded to get some shots of them.  Seth had a great time with it all, but he was ready to get back to work!  "I have my workbooks out, Mr. Wells, let's do them!" suggested Seth.  "Boy, I wish all my students liked school like you do, Seth!  In 22 years of teaching, you are the first! " boasted Mr. Wells.
