Decided to take up pole vaulting. He is at the western divisional meet today. Has jumped 11’, trying for 11.5. Eleven feet ties his school record for freshmen. Maybe he can break the freshman record.

I’ve always enjoyed watching pole vaults - I would think it takes a lot of practice and courage to fly through the air like that. Tell him “good job”!!!! www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.

They reached 12 on their first attempt and he did his on his second attempt. He gets to go to the state meet automatically. Bus ride home will take 90 minutes. Maybe a pretty girl will sit with him on the bus. He attends a STEM school that does not have athletics. He goes to the public high school in his home district for track. He will become an Eagle Scout soon. Seems to have his head on straight. Beats me badly at sporting clays with his 20 gauge. Is my only grandson.

I did well in school as far as my grades .But I did not like itI would have been happier hunting ,trapping ,learning about nature and the outdoors However be a part of a team is a valuable time of your life
