When all is said and done, this will probably be the least favorite photo in Heir 2's collection. He wanted a letter jacket, but didn't want it. He wouldn't wear it but then he did. For most of his high school career the school letter had more academic awards than athletic ones.
And that's how it should be as fewer people can provide a meal from athletic accomplishments than they can from academic endeavors.
And yet, when we went to the athletic banquet several nights ago, every senior letterperson had their photo taken and displayed against the backdrop of the bleachers. Afterwards, they took them home. For a majority, that night was the highlight of their life.
For Heir 2, it was just one of the final hurdles needed to exit life in Strasburg before heading off to a brand new and exciting world.
I'm proud of you Heir 2, even if it is a dorky, nerdy photo.
