The School Bell Has a New Ring in My Home This Year

Upstate Teacher in Right Place, Right Time to See McCartney’s Letterman Performance in NYC

I wish I could’ve traded places Wednesday night (7/15) with Ashley Palermo, a recent Clemson University graduate who starts her teaching career this fall at West Oak Middle School in Oconee County, SC.  She and my daughter Kayla were college friends.
