In case it didn't come through in the news reports, a wedding date hasn't been set yet but Jerral is now engaged to a wonderful woman and we are looking forward to a huge wedding in our community.
Side note: When I first met Jerral a couple years ago at one of the OATH students' early fundraising events we had a chance to sit and talk for a while. When I mentioned that my car was down so I had bused and walked to the event, Jerral told me to just call him if I needed a ride. I was tempted to take him up up on it. Not gratuitously, but if I really got jammed up.
At yesterday's event I had bused partway and walked another hour or so in the heat, stopping often to rest. I joked about how I expected somebody would pick me up, but they all just waved as they passed by. Jerral said hell, if I needed a ride home I could count on him. I didn't have to take him up on his offer...but I'm still tempted to do that, if I get jammed up.
My photos from yesterday weren't very good, but I did manage to get this shot of Jerral's van on the parking apron in front of his new home:
I also want to note that the students who accomplished this did so because because they had an amazing, inspirationlal teacher in Jamie Goodreau. Jamie has been inspiring her history class students in projects like this for years. When we talk about the difference good teachers can make, I can't say enough about Jamie to do her justice. Jamie is a real hero.
