Last weekend I sang in Lyndon. It was a fun night and I got to sing many of my songs. All different kinds. The best part was I got to see old friends and students that I hadn't seen in many, many years. It was great seeing their families and we talked about the old times. I'm singing this weekend at the tractor show in Ottawa. I sing for just a short time but I always have a good time there. My Little Red Tractor song is always a hit. If your there stop by and sing along. This year school is busy we have started working on the 4th and 5th grade concert. "Vote 2008" A lot of good songs, two are mine. The best part is talking with the students about how important it is to vote. Something that is a right for us all and something that we need to do. The future is to important not to care!!!! I'm also a football coach this year at West Franklin, the school that Cord goes to and PJ and Tara teach at. When I was a young man just starting out as a teacher, I coached football there. Chuck Lee called me this summer and asks if I would coach with him again. I thought about it for a long time and decided to say yes. Football was what got me to go to Collage, I could catch footballs!! I wouldn’t be here without football and going to Collage, there I studied my one true love, Music!! We won our first game and I would have to say it was fun to see the boys work hard and believe in themselves. Life is busy but good. I hope everyone is doing well and I hope to see you sometime at one of my shows. Oh yes and I’m going to a B-day party this weekend after I sing, it’s for a good old friend of mine, David Clayton. David and I were Collage roommates and we also played football together. We have been the best of friends for a long, long time. He is turning 50, Happy Birthday. Alan
