My fondest memory..
It was a Sunday night and as usual I had put off my schoolwork.
I had a 7th grade science project due Monday. I needed to draw the moon and show the names of the various craters on a big poster board.
Luckly my cousin Mont was visiting and after a little pleading he volunteered to help me with my project. Luckly, I had earlier gotten the poster board.
Mont set about drawing the perfect looking moon. I did my part of labeling the craters. I turned it in that Monday. The teacher said it was the best drawing of the moon turned in and gave me an A grade.
I like to think my labeling had something to do with it, but I know it was Monts artistic skills that got me what was my first and only A in Science class.
Thanks Mont.
Uncle Mont had the best quiet chuckle
