My father died 7 years ago. He was a teacher and coach most of his adult life. He taught many years at the same school where I now teach.
Last night was a special night as my father was inducted into the Humansville High School Hall of Fame. My mother accepted his award.
Great people come from this small town. They grow up and do amazing things. The stories of lives lived of the other four on this stage blew me away. It made me even prouder that my dad, six years after his death, was recognized among them.
Humansville folks... be proud of where you come from. You have a unique and powerful history. You have displayed strength over and over throughout your 140 year history. Great people surround you and things are happening daily. They are not often recognized. But your kids are watching. And they believe the best is yet to come.
