Matt at NHS
What do National Honor Society inductees talk about? The same thing as other kids, only they use bigger words. (That’s Matt in the middle. Glad we didn’t name him Malcolm.)
There was a very interesting phenomenon at the NHS induction: A group of high school students were silent. Well behaved. No one had to tell them what to do. It’s a big departure from graduations that I’ve been to, when the crowd is requested to have a little dignity and hold their applause until the last student’s name is called. Usually by about the 10th student the whooping and hollering begins and by the end it’s an all-out riot of screaming and cheering. Not so at this one.
Parents waited until the end to applaud. Students demonstrated appropriate decorum. And my son wore a tie.
Everything was right in the world for just a little minute.

Hi, it's me, the guy whose name is at the top of the page. I'm the grinning dude in the middle of many of these pictures. Those are my boys Dan, Matt, and Steve. They're taller than me now, and take every chance to show me. What can I say? I'm shrinking. Sheryl puts up with all of us. She's been known to say "Boys!" from time to time.-
