Did she get Mom's brains or Dad's brains?


...maybe a little of both.

Jill (Williams) Christeson, the daughter of classmates, Jackie & Rick Williams, is one of nine finalists in the Illinois State Board of Education's Teacher of the Year contest. See The Telegraph 09/04/08 article here: http://www.thetelegraph.com/news/top_17890___article.html/honor_wood.html

While Jackie & Rick are not bloggers and won't have the opportunity to read any of our comments, I know that we all will be hoping for Jill to win the top prize, which, by the way, includes one year of paid leave for graduate study, a trip to the White House, and two very proud parents!

Congratulations!

GOOD LUCK, JILL
Rick and Jackie, you must be SO proud.

We have got to get Jackie and Rick on the blog. Last year when I was back for the bon fire, at John Walker's, I visited a bit with Jackie and she assured me she would try to get onto the blog. Well, that was a year ago. Come on now, they are missin' out, someone close by needs to lend a hand and get 'em on here.

She definitely got her Mom's brains and the hunter instincts of her Dad, wonderful combination.
