A brief history
I was born in 1957, two miles from Cominsky Park, then home of the White Sox, on Chicago’s South Side. Bridgeport, if you know Chicago’s neighborhoods.
Tales from Robert J. Hankes Jr.
Four questions. Four ridiculous, unbelievable, but nevertheless true answers.
What was the silliest thing you ever did while teaching?
On February 2nd of a year long ago, one of my students who liked to hunt brought to class his stuffed groundhog. The class spent the rest of the period creating a “Happy Groundhog’s Day” poster. We set up a table in the lobby of the “old” high school, taped the poster to it, placed the groundhog on it, just in time for 2:51 pm dismissal.
