Snow day rememberies

Funny stuff. Of course, we had a different problem when I was a kid. Our decisions were being made a half-hour away, down at the school board offices in Lexington. So what was going on up in our end of the county might or might not be known by the superintendent. We didn’t have the Weather Channel back then, you know. We used to joke that the only way school was getting cancelled was if he had a foot of snow in his own damned yard.
I even remember the bastard’s name – E. Lawson Brown. After he retired they built a new junior high school in the East district (by the way, it’s been over 25 years since I was in high school, but the East Davidson Golden Eagles can still go to hell) and named it for him. The E. Lawson Brown Bruins.
Their school colors were Carolina blue and brown. That seems a fitting enough tribute right there….

Lawson Brown
Best thing E. Lawson Brown ever did was drop dead just after he’d arranged to get himself elected NC Superintendent of Schools.
Damn if I miss him.
By the way, it’s been 35 years, and Reidsville High can go to the deepest, darkest part of hell….
Re: Lawson Brown
Really, what were the odds that Lawson Brown would become the subject of bloggerism?
Re: Lawson Brown as bloggerism
Well, you have me there. I had no money on him even though the odds would have made me a rich, rich man. I’ll be posting a memory of our local superintendent, equally as flattering as yours of Brown, shortly.
