We each reported back on our conversations with attorneys and I was pleased with the early reports. We still have a lot of names to go through and I haven&#8217;t even begun to call my list. <\/p>\n<p>Afterward, I stuck around a little while and talked about the District&#8217;s increasingly tenuous political situation. I used some pretty rough language albeit under my breath. As I left the back room an elderly co-worker from my year at Washington Junior asked me how we were doing. I guess I can&#8217;t go anywhere no without being recognized. She had seen me on the tube last night. I told her I hoped she hadn&#8217;t heard me using my colorful language. &#8220;Oh, no,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Her equally elderly friend, the wife of a former Duluth teacher, joined her and we had a rollicking time talking about how foolish the school board has been. These sweet old ladies said a couple colorful things themselves. <\/p>\n<p>The friend said she had laughed to herself when she had read that if Duluth would went to a four day school week it would be the first time in history. She went to school four days a week in Duluth during the war &#8211; WWII! <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are you saying?&#8221; I asked her, &#8220;that we&#8217;re as bad off today with Dixon as we were when we were fighting Hitler?&#8221; They both thought that was pretty funny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just got back from Randy&#8217;s, a restaurant in old West End, where LDV&#8217;s legal advisory committee met for lunch.
