Today my parents and I visited the Air Zoo in Kalamazoo. It is a wonderful place full of history, both inanimate — the airplanes — and animate: many of the musem volunteers are military veterans.
We were blessed to have a conversation with a man named Larry Jenkins, a World War II veteran who was shot down over Austria and who spent time in a German prison camp. He was very friendly and very willing to speak of his experiences in the war, and it was very moving to hear the stories directly from Jenkins.
In addition, he had made the effort to maintain written accounts of his war experiences (even while he was in the prison camp!), and he had provided those accounts to the Air Zoo. His words, along with the others the Air Zoo has accumulated, are necessary remembrances in a modern world so eager to move forward without taking much time to look back. Few can truly understand Jenkins’ experiences, but all should take care to ensure that those experiences are not forgotten.

Happiness and hurt (02-03 March 2007).
Thursday and Friday provided the towering highs and cavernous lows of sports as rival schools Chelsea and Dexter met first in the hockey playoffs and then in the basketball regular-season finale. Both games went into overtime, and both were Dexter victories: 3-2 for the hockey team and 59-57 for the basketball team.
The first picture shows the Dexter hockey team celebrating in front of its student section; the second shows Chelsea’s Mike Bazydlo reacting to the loss. The third shows Dexter’s Johnny Benjamin celebrating his last-second game-winning shot; the fourth shows Chelsea’s Adam Connell mourning the loss.
On Saturday, Dexter’s hockey team lost 4-2 to Dearborn Divine Child, so both schools’ hockey seasons are done. The basketball playoffs begin Monday, with Chelsea facing Milan and Dexter facing Pinckney.

Magic book (28 February 2007).
A cookbook, having long ago fallen behind a seldom-moved piece of furniture, somehow adhered itself to the wall. When the furniture was moved, the cookbook stayed.

Look at me when I punch you! (27 February 2007)
Gabriel Richard’s Matthew Szmytke lodges his protest with Chelsea’s Matt Heinen after a Bulldog goal. Szmytke was upset at what he thought was goaltender interference; the referees disagreed, the goal stood, and Szmytke took a roughing penalty for his actions. Chelsea won, 7-0; the Bulldogs will face Dexter in the second round of the playoffs.
