Washington, DC - One week and counting...

I am getting excited to join my fellow STOYs in Washington next Sunday but not nearly as excited as my grandmother!  Grandma Vera turned 103 years old in February and she reminded me this afternoon, as she has during every conversation we've had since I became a STOY, that she has seen 18 different presidents.   She has also shared some of the things she would tell Barack Obama if she were meeting him. Number one on her list Mr President, teachers should be paid more money.  Go Grandma!
