David's Library Section

David is contemplating on will having a section in the Dansville Public Library named after him. I still don't know why he doesn't attach his distinctions after his name. He is afterall a school teacher and librarian for 38 years. He should sign: David W. Smith, MA, MLS.

Howdie, cowboy?

Yo, wassup, dude.

Biker/Hippie family blocks our view.

David enjoying the parade. I should convince him to run for mayor of Dansville because he knows everybody.

Look at those spikes on the wheels.

Beer, beer and more beer.

Can you tell me why this kid is driving the tractor?

Scholarship Woes (and Rejoice!)

Last year I received a medallion and a certificate for a scholarship. This year I will receive none despite the two (and much bigger amount) scholarships I'll be receiving. You figure it out.

But I'll attend the ceremony today, nevertherless.

Dansville Sojourn 2009

It was David's mom's 16th year death anniversary.

David behind his parents' tomb.

"Mind the hair! Mind the hair!" David screamed. It was windy that day.

Mock Press Conference

A mock press conference organized by the Advanced Public Relations course students. The actors were professors at The College at Brockport, State University of New York. I attended it because three of my courses (PR class, Journalism Issues and Problems, Newswriting Research) required me to do so. But where's the coffee?

For the details of what happened, go to http://nychronicles.wordpress.com/ (that is where I posted my assignment).
