My grandfather had lots of ideas, and he meticulously wrote them down and saved them. He was the principal of a school, and in the 1950's he wrote down a plan to improve student achievement that was much like the No Child Left Behind program that we have today. He proposed a year-round school calendar in the late 1950's that is much like the calender that we use in Alabama and Georgia today.
His biggest idea was a Perpetual Calendar and he sent this plan to everyone including Dwight Eisenhower, John Foster Dulles, John F. Kennedy, George Wallace, and Dear Abby. It makes sense to me.

Your grandpa sounds like quite the man! What a cool composition!!
I wonder where you got your determination from Clara?
What a shame your Grandfather father didn't get credit for these things. He must have been very brilliant! Nice that you still have his records. Great shot for the theme.
Great picture with a great story, seems your grandfather was really appassionated to bring the best possible out of the schoolsystem to make it better for the children.
What a terrific story and memory, not to mention the photo that illustrates the theme so perfectly. What an amazing man!
Truly inspiring! Your lighting and processing on this shot really works perfectly.
