"Kid Bell"
He held up the two cups wrapped with string with the pride of any true inventor. He told me what it was, but he really didn't have to, I know a well-crafted phone when I see one. Then he demonstrated how it worked, one rider held a cup up to my ear as the other one stood behind me and yelled into a cup, "Mr. Brandon, Mr. Brandon". The clarity was amazing it was almost like he was right behind me yelling my name. Next, they moved on to a test of long distance because I heard one say, "Ciao" and the other one said, "Sayonara". I hope they have the right plan because those international charges can be outrageous.

I can't believe I'm just now finding out about 1. You have a blog and 2. You were on the Steve Harvey show! You totally deserved that award and I'm so proud to say you were my bus driver and teacher! I'm sure it's hard to remember names, but I know anytime I see your bus pass by the cotton gin that I can give you a wave and you'll remember me! I love reading these stories and I hope you'll keep them coming. You're an inspiration and I hope you realize how many kids that have been lucky enough to have you as an educator look up to you and will forever remember you!
