In
the early days at KCA, our community was very tight-knit. Everyone knew everyone else – from 1st grade
through 12th grades. So, it
seemed a bit silly at after-school P.E. class on the “first day of school” to
sit in a circle and introduce ourselves.
Things were to get sillier, however.
Amazingly, there were actually TWO “Graces” in my class – maybe because
we had the largest class (yeah! 1975!).
Back
to the circle… Each girl recited her name, getting around to Ellen
Kingsbury. It just so happened I was
sitting next to Ellen, and must have been in a dream world (nothing new) since
I blurted out my name as “Grace Kingsbury.”
Of course, everyone knew I was “Grace Weimar” but it came out so
naturally – our first exercise in P.E. was rolling on the lawn with laughter
and splitting sides. Perhaps you had to
be there, but really, it was funny!
