Meagan emailed that their football team was in the Division 2 playoffs and yesterday was the last home game and it was really fun. At halftime they had this contest where they picked someone to try to kick the football through the Y shaped thing at the end of the field to win a 20 inch color tv.
And they picked Meagan's name for the third person to try. The first one missed it. But the second guy did make it and so Meagan did not get to try after all. She said she was kind of glad not to have to try and kick it in front of that huge crowd. The guy who won was a soccer player. But she said it was fun to walk out there in front of all those. people and hear her name over the loudspeakers. Everyone mentioned it afterwards to her.
So fun experience for her. She has really enjoyed Pasadena High and it has been very good for her. It appears that Pasadena is like the schools in my day where they really support their teams and the students work hard at succeeding. Great school.
I wrote back to her how neat it was to be famous! I also told her that according to my genealogy work I found that Mary and John are the most common names followed by Elizabeth and Sarah. And I told her I saw her friend Sarah and she looked really cute but so thin. She is a vegetarian.
Anyway, then I shared with her that James' upline partner had rented a house up the hill from James, and Bandido liked to run up there and visit the little girl, but today all of them got out (Camber's two Labs) and ran away so we had to put the zap collars on them. It buzzes when they get to their boundary. Poor Bandido, he is so bewildered and looks so sad to be stuck at home. I am living at Jimmy's house, of course, so Bandido is adjusting.
I also told Meagan that she was the only one in our lineage with that name so I am sure everyone will remember the name.
I also gave her this advice. "As you climb the ladder of success, be sure it is leaning against the right building."
