The zoo will become an annual event. Children always have fun at a zoo.

I met the young lady who was going to teach my men, Spanish. We agreed on meeting Tuesday evening at the club. She gave me the name of a book, Beginning Spanish. She said she thought the Yale bookstore had it but it could be found in any book store. Dropping Tommy off at school, I went to the Yale book store. They didn’t have any books on learning Spanish but did offer to get them for me. I checked one of the book stores close to Yale and they did have them. In fact they had a selection of

Gentlemen, if my story does anything more then entertain, it has created dialogue. For that I give you my thanks.
-
One of the problem of learning a second language, if you don't use it you'll lose.
-
I wonder how many stories, fiction, have caused such a response. To be truthful, I'm enjoying these comments. Dialogue is the key to understanding.
-
I am sorry you feel that way. This is a story of fiction, none of it is true. The people, the schools, are from my imagination. The university is real but not in my story, just like most of my characters are based on people I knew.

I am appalled at the state of education in the US. Teachers lack critical support not only from the government but from local communities as well. One thing I don't understand, if I had a valuable asset, I would want to make sure I hired the best candidate regardless of the costs. Teachers are under paid because their salaries are based on taxation. Communities are adverse to anything that will raise their taxes. Until the source of income to pay for our teachers change, then we can expect no change. I can offer one idea, have federal monies support our education structure. How about the Feds matching local taxes in support of educators

you'r right, he has Armand in his back pocket.

I will accept your comments, and hopefully my readers will also. This story is not meant to show any disrespect to an honorable profession. I still remember my first day of high school. It was a day of instruction and it included a special induction to the school library. The librarian taught us how that library worked, the file system and where we could find books by subject matter. When I traveled, I always visited a library. There are times when I wish television wasn't invented. Maybe we are reaping the fruits of not curling up with a good book. That introduction to a library took place in the fall of 1951

Learning languages opens the doors to many experiences. And when you do it, you open many doors.

They may have but didn't bother to get involved. He should have check out the high schools.
-
Remember he has a Board of Directors who assist him. But as an owner, he needs to be there. To hear staff problems, if nothing more.

I dropped off the kids at the Orphanage and proceeded to the gallery. “Tommy, I have to go to Yale this afternoon. You can come with me or you can stay with Grandmother. Your choice.” “I’ll stay with Grandmother.” I stopped at the office of the professor to say hello. I went to the library and asked about anything they might have concerning endangered animals. She didn’t have anything specifically. “I suggest you check with an environmental agency, I’m sure they would have some i

Tommy has a "good soul". I'm not sure if his desire to share his good fortune is a result of a good heart or upbringing by his real parents. Never the less, Armand will have his heart opened the orphanage.
-
Stop looking into your crystal wish ball.
-
He is a charmer, it will be extremely difficult to deny him anything.
-
Yes, security will be done quickly. Mom's request makes sense to me.
-
Tommy will never forget his time at the orphanage and his friends. I think Armand should buy into that hot dog business. Except when I worked in a circus one summer, I hadn't got close to one. They are a gentile beast when not threatened.
-
Fantastic idea. thanks for the laugh.
-
yes, but that could be a good premise for a new story
-
You are to late. He has given the contract to the gentlemen recommended by the police. I am familiar with hurricanes shutters, I had them when I lived in Florida and Amsterdam
-
I think he just didn't realize the possibilities. but once he has understood, he wastes no time.
-
Armand has declined the offer of doing the mural. The professor will have 2-3 students doing it.
-
This will be a short daily back. Thomas is 10

The changes will not change the appearance. When the gallery is closed, it will looked different but when it is open, it will look the same
