    Crossing Guard for 32 Years

    Having been a crossing guard for 32 years, I get to see what some of my students or kids grow up to be because they’re all my kids, so I say, “my kids.” One was my pharmacist, another my bank teller, so its so interesting and fun when students come back with their children.
