Adam Blake - 88. Chapter 88
Two months seem to go fast. Dad and Brad came and performed the financial audit, with their help, we issued an Annual Report. Lawrence came to me the week before school was to be closed and indicated he wanted to stay at the school until the college opened. “Doc, we want to stay here until the college opens, we’ll take courses on the internet.”
“If your parents agree, I need a signed request by them. I’ll also need to approve your courses. They have to be in line with the College’s courses.”
Classes end, parents arrived, graduation ceremonies took place. Seth opens the fair with trumpets. I watched from my perch as the kids walked around, booths were attended by Seth’s people, and our security people were on high alert.
The joust was a big success, awards were given on the last day, everyone got an award for something. I was pleased that the art created by the students was sold, there were a few pieces, which I bought. I met some of the enrolling class, brothers of the current class.
I was walking back to my office when I heard someone crying. I followed the sound, “Adam, why are you crying?”
“My parents told me I had to stay at the school again this summer.”
“Where are your parents?” He pointed them out, “Come with me.”
Back in my office, I drafted an agreement giving me custody of Adam for the summer. “Get your parents to sign this. You’ll have a great summer.”
He ran off, I saw his dad read the document, looking at me. He signed the paper. Now I know these boys have a mental link, along with Adam was Thomas. He had scribbled a document giving me guardianship until the end of July. Now I had three boys, Adam, Thomas, and Gerry.
The three boys stood next to me as their parents drove off. There were a few tears, why wouldn’t there be. Marcel fixed that, he told the boys to sit down, apple pie with a big serving of ice cream.
“We are going to have fun this summer. I have a few seminars to give here at the school, you can come here with me or stay at the cabin. Gram and Gramps will be there as the lovely Marie.”
“Are you going to marry her?”
“Yes, right here at school and the Knights will be a part of it.”
“What are we going to do at the cabin?”
“We are going to fish, camp out, and take long walks in the woods. Maybe, will do something else, I know an Italian restaurant that would love to see you.” I winked at Gerry. “You’ll have fun and learn a little about American history and the role your country played in our Independence.”
I noticed they had finished eating. “Go and pack your suitcases, leave out enough clothes to travel in tomorrow. Will leave early.”
I had two weeks before my first seminar. Seminars weren’t new to me, I gave them at the University. I wonder how this group would react, they were educators from some of the most prestigious schools.
Arriving at the cabin, Gerry took over. He led the guys to their rooms, showed them around, and then showed them the lake. As if on cue, a fish jumped out of the lake and splashed back in. They were smiling and as Marie’s boat came to the dock, Gerry did the honor. Being gentlemen, they escorted her to the cabin. ”
After dinner, we were sitting on the porch listening to the sounds, when I saw a car approaching the cabin. I have never seen this car before, “Boys, get in the cabin and stay there until I call you.”
As the car got closer, I saw a big man driving it, the car stopped and when the driver got out I recognized Hans. “Hans, welcome.” That’s all it took for the boys to rush and jump on him. I introduced Hans to Marie, she offered him a cup of coffee. Hans said something to Gerry. Gerry looked at me, rubbed his belly, went into the cabin, and came out with two sandwiches and a coffee. Hans hugged Gerry. I knew now that all of the boys would see that Hans was well taken care of.
I noticed a few yawns, so I helped the boys get ready for bed. Gerry slept by himself and the other two boys bunked together. Hans had the third bedroom.
