Hey Everyone...
The memories, positive pats on the back, and words of life have really be inspiring. It's a great break from the drama of the evening news and morning paper.
Do any of you remember Mrs...(Linda) Kickabush? She was a very sweet "office lady".
...Married to Mr.(Jim)Kickabush...Driver's Ed. teacher. (Also a very sweet person.)
Well...as was the case in school, I was not necessarily privy to the first names of teachers, or administration, nor did I even think much beyond their title and last names.
But, when I became aware of Mrs. Kickabush's first name...I just couldn't wrap my mind around it. She did not look like a 'Linda' to me. She just didn't.
Dorothy McMillan knew the Kickabush's personally...and we discussed this light-heartedly. She asked what name I thought Linda DID look like to me, and I didn't have to think twice. "Marge". She looks like a Marge to me.
Well...news, lovingly, got back to Mrs. Kickabush...and apparently (luckily!) it was like a moment of revelation to her. She said that she'd never felt like a 'Linda'.
And from that point on...(and to this day??)...she adopted the name 'Marge' as her own!
Dorothy, do you...or does anyone else...know about Mrs. Kickabush these days? Does she still go by 'Marge'?
My thoughts are affectionately with her, and her family.
