My littlest grandson had had a seizure after a modest temperature spiked to at least 103 degrees. I raced to my daughter&#8217;s home to see how he was doing after his ambulance ride to St. Lukes. He was one tired little boy when I saw him. &#8220;Papa will you stay awhile?&#8221; he asked as he laid his head on my shoulder. Makes campaigning seem pretty hollow. <\/p>\n<p>Except that all the families I&#8217;ve met who are unhappy about the Duluth Schools and are sending their children elsewhere have the same priority I do. Its a damned shame and disgrace that our schools no longer beckon to them. I&#8217;ve always said that if you can&#8217;t feel passionate about your children what can you feel passionate about? Perhaps the answer for some was new school buildings, the bigger the better.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously many Duluth families just don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s good for them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was back at it working my way east from far west Duluth when I discovered my family had been trying to reach me&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[116,47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2013-duluth-sb-election","category-harrys-diary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9916"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9916\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9918,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9916\/revisions\/9918"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
