Perfect Attendance

This is an email that I sent to sibs in 2022.

1st thru 12th grades:
I missed a day in 1st grade and a day in 6th grade.

I was a part of "not everyone gets an award" generation.
Perfect attendance was only recognized by classroom teachers at their own discretion.
I have books for "perfect attendance" from Mrs. Farnsworth and Mrs. Wiles.

College: I missed a day the last summer I was at EIU to go to a job interview.

Just call me Gabriel tooting my own horn.  😇

My first supervisor at PCU always misspelled correspondence using an a. Typically he would hand me a handwritten something-or-other that I'd have to type up. (He was president of a state-wide library committee, and I guess I was his personal secretary.) I eventually used to return his original corrected in red ink.

Comparing attendance and correspondence ..... One can understand why they're misspelled.

I recently wrote a thank you and included the words sweet and treat. Luckily I did not say sweat.
