What a fabulous time! My visit took me to the wonderful town of Abingdon, Illinois and Hedding Grade School 5th Graders! It all started with a simple request by 5ht Grader Angelina Johnson.

"Hi, Mr Zahara. I'm from Hedding Grade School in Abingdon, Illinois. We're talking about weather in my classroom.  I would love to have you come to my school to talk about weather in my 5th grade class. Just wondering. From: Angelina Johnson"

No hesitation on this request and I made sure that I didn't disappoint.

WOW!!! How 'bout these students!!!  Extremely bright and it showed in the questions they asked. Very impressed. Nice job, teachers!!  It was a wonderful reception. Signed many autographs and in response, I received many 'Thank You' cards, candy treats and the piece de resistance..
