Bill, our webmaster here, advised that Norman Todd has died. I thought I'd share a memory of Norman I had, which is a little unusual. Back in the old days of newspapers (that's B.C. - before computers) newspapers were home-delivered by kids wanting extra money. Norman was a delivery boy. Newspapers came bundled in bulk, with a string around them. The delivery boys were given a ring device they could slip on the finger, with a sharp 'hook' sticking out, and the string could be quickly cut with a hand-swipe. One day in Mrs Richmond's class, Norman sat in front of me. Before I knew it, he had turned around and reached down and sliced through my shoelaces with the ring! Was I mad! Funny the things that come back over the years. Norman, hope you have a laugh on me over that now.
