The following e-mail was received by Dick Worm from another retired teacher following the Turkey Dinner Fundraiser. This man's wife, Donna, is a substitute teacher for the Dubuque Community Schools and happened to sub for the same 6th grade class the Friday before and the Monday following the Turkey Dinner:
"Donna just told me of a boy by the name of Mitchell who said he had the best time of his life this weekend. He spent a night out (Nov. 3) with the Roosevelt School Sierra Society club at a pond that had the biggest bluegills he'd ever seen. He had the greatest time and there was a guy by the name of Worm. He said, 'Worms and a pond' sorta go together."
"Donna had subbed Friday and this boy told her he was going to camp out at a pond with the Sierra Club. Donna told him that the man that owned it was Mr. Worm. He reported this back to her today. He was just beaming, Donna said."
"Way to go... [the Sierra Club] is still giving a lot of kids a chance of a lifetime, especially to those who aren't into the common athletic sports. I have to tip my hat to [your outings]." (& to Barb Anderson!) (Mitchell's family was also on the 10/25 Moon Hike.)
