When Jerry came to visit my parish last week Janet and I took him all around the premises, like the rest of you did. Since I'm teaching middle school religion classes every week, we thought it would be nice to introduce Jerry to one of my classes. So, we popped in on the class and I introduced him to the regular teacher, Mrs. Pennington, and the 7th graders. Jerry was actually great with the kids, although he only said a couple of things to them and then we were off to see t rest of the campus.
Now the story:
Yesterday, as I was walking to my 8th grade class I ran into one of my 7th graders. He asked me whether I was teaching his class and I told him that I wasn't, but that I would next week. His response was, "awesome. Is that Dr. Bomby... Bommer.... uh... Dr. guy going to come back with you?"
I had to reveal that Dr. Baumbach had gone back to his normal job at Notre Dame.
"Dang," the 7th grader said, "I love that guy!"
Evidently, Jerry made a pretty big impression on my class!
