I hope your staff gets a kick out of the daydreaming of a senior citizen.

Everyone seems to be talking about the gas prices. I just wonder why the powers that be have not considered the Alaska pipeline as a source. We should be getting some of this for the U.S. instead of selling it to other countries. A lot of work went into the building of the pipeline. I have a picture of this sturdy pipeline with my husband standing under it with my stuffed bear the PTO gave me when I retired from Buckingham Elementary in Bucks County, PA.

They made a shirt with Buckingham Knights Logo on the bear's shirt. We took pictures of Bucky Bear at a lot of places. When we got home, I was called to the school to see the display of our pictures in one of the hallways.

I hope I made you SMILE!

I enjoy reading the Simpsonville Sentinel! Keep up the good work!
