The CHS staff held a farewell lunch for Ron Mead. After lunch, they presented Mead with the use of a Ford Thunderbird (generously provided by Palmer Ford) for the last few days of school.

Sgt. Wolverine, saw your comment over on mgoblog about your photography career (in relation to shooting sports). Not sure it helps, but I always figure it’s nice to get connections in the industry. I read a travel blog called Flying With Fish (flyingwithfish.blogspot.com), run by a photog who travels all over the place. Also posts on flyertalk.com as sefrischling. Just thought you might be interested.
Gouda – could you reprint that comment here, for the benefit of those of us who do not read all of the comments on mgoblog?
andrew — Thank you! Those connections are always good to have.
js — the comment was in response to a commenter who asked if I go to M games to work or just to watch; I said:
“…when I go to Michigan games, I’m there as a spectator only. Right now my only media affiliation (and it’s a pretty loose freelance affiliation) is with a small newspaper in a small town, and when it comes to sports, the only place that gets me is high school sporting events. I think I would pretty much die of happiness if I got to shoot a Michigan football game from the sidelines, but that would require a major miracle, or a massive boost to my fledgling career (which I don’t necessarily need right now, as I actually enjoy shooting local sports).”
So I’ve lived your dream, twice. Although I was confined to the southwest corner the whole time.
