Old, Old Certificate

This certificate was awarded to my daddy in March of 1927.  Daddy will be 92 in November.  I found this among some things, you know those things that accumulate
around the house.  I don't even remember when he or my mom gave it to me, but
I am very glad to have it and I finally framed it to prevent further deterioration.
The Certificate of Award was from the Webbers Falls School District and given out in Muskogee by the County Superintendent  for correctly spelling "One Hundred Lessons".

He was nine years old then and only continued in school until the 8th grade.
His math skills have always amazed me, as well, especially since he did not pass any
of those math skills down to me.....spelling some....math little.  He can
"figure" anything in his head quicker than one can with a calculator.  


The other thing about this certificate that amazes me is that we ended up
living in Webbers Falls and our children attended school on the same premises.
I would have never guessed that we would travel in the same path and our children
be raised in Webbers Falls.  You know, you just never know where the Lord will
lead you.
