She wrote a long book, a diary really, from which this is one passage:<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;On The Thing&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One other never-to-be-forgotten memory of college work at Vint Hill was the psychology class. Our teacher was an older lady from Washington, DC who had what I call \u201ca vocal tic:\u201d She said \u201con the thing\u201d about once every half minute like some folks say \u201cummm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t going to be able to go to her final exam because of an out of town family situation, so I asked her if I could make it up, with any plan that would suit her, and she said that if I came to her apartment in SE Washington I could take the test there, which I appreciated, and we made plans for that on a Sunday afternoon, in daylight hours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Safety Precautions in Southeast Washington, DC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When I arrived at the parking lot, a guard used his remote controller to open the gate, after he asked my name and called the teacher from his little booth. I parked where he told me to, and walked to the elevator. I had to push a button, tell who I was, and that voice checked with her, then the elevator door opened and I went to her floor and found her apartment door. I knocked, told her who I was, and I heard the chain come out of its slot; then I heard a bolt on the door open, and one of the turn-knobs \u201con the thing\u201d &#8211; oh, I mean, on the door &#8211; and then she opened the door. I\u2019m glad I won\u2019t ever have to go there again.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to go ahead and get my degree, but I was going to have to commute for the last two years to the campus of Mary Washington College, Fredericksburg, Virginia &#8211; 50 miles from home &#8211; to complete the required music degree courses. This was hard. I got help from Dave, and a lot of cooperation from the kids.<\/p>\n<p>Some of my classes began at 8 a.m. More than once in <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id71492-grandfather-says-a-wintry-view-of-my-raised-bed-vegetable-garden.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wintertime<\/a> I was seated for my 8:00 a.m. class &#8211; after driving from Warrenton to Fredericksburg &#8211; and young girls would run over from their dorms with ice in their wet hair and come panting in about one minute before 8:00. Sometimes I felt like everybody\u2019s mother (I was 37), but most of the time I felt like just one of the students. I worked hard and did well and thoroughly enjoy all my classes. The large indoor pool at MWC was available for students and their families, and sometimes Dave and I and the kids would all drive together on Friday evenings and eat out at McDonald\u2019s in Fredericksburg and go swimming in the college pool.<\/p>\n<p>The Dean of the Music Department, Anne Hamer, was an older lady who taught several music classes I was fortunate to be in &#8211; Harmony, Theory &amp; Composition &#8211; and we became good friends.<\/p>\n<p><em>To be continued&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><em>About the Author: RD Blakeslee is a nonagenarian in West Virginia who built his net worth by only investing in that which can be enjoyed during acquisition and throughout life, as opposed to papers in a drawer, like stocks and bonds.
