School Story:
I had choir as a major subject in high school. I have always had a terrible time with punctuality. As those of you know, Mr. Nitsche insisted on starting at 8 AM - a nearly Impossible task for me. Every day, I would try so hard to get there and get seated by 8 AM. I would be late at least 3 out of 5 days. I would sneak in the back door of the choir room; throw my coat on the floor next to the risers and climb up to my seat from the soprano side of the risers, By my last semester, Mr. Nitsche would simply look at me with that gaze that made you sure that you should know better, and make an announcement to the class. "Miss Hoover has arrived, so I guess I can take the roll call!" Yikes!
