FITTING GIFT
How's this for politically incorrect? Marathon School District Superintendent Larry Hayes was feted at his retirement dinner June 4 at the Halfway House in Solon.
In recognition of his 35 years of dedication and service to the district, Hayes was given a 12-gauge over-under shotgun.
The tiny village of Marathon is the home of one of the most energetic trapshooting programs in the state, and shotguns apparently carry more import than gold watches or golf clubs.
Sometimes when I think everything is going down the toilet a little ray of hope shines through.
Just to show you not all of NY is anti-Second Amendment liberals. This is a small rural upstate NY town which is about 20 miles from where I live. I for one am mailing the School District a note congratulating them on their lack of political correctness and their apparent good sense. :-D
