Geoff Fox: My Permanent Record
Back when I was in school teachers would always scare me with stories of how my exploits would end up in my permanent record. I believe this is it! – Geoff Fox
I take full responsibility. Sara knew it. Joe knew it. I… well I was negligent in spelling negligent.
On the other hand it was a great night for the Farmington Public School Foundation who sponsored the event.

On the other hand it was a great night for the Farmington Public School Foundation who sponsored the event. It was well attended by people who spell better than I do!
By the way, Farmington continues to be the iconic New England town. As pretty as can be.
I was never a good speller. Now with spell checking enabled on all my devices I get to hide it.
My one spelling triumph came in the third grade at PS163Q. In our class spelling bee I won with “government.” By the time I was called all the other more sensible spellings had been tried.
I’m not sure how this happened, but I’m heading to Farmington tonight with Sara Grant and Joe Furey. Uh oh.
The first annual Farmington Public School Foundation Adult Spelling Bee will be held Friday, May 11, 2012, from 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at the Sarah Porter Memorial in Farmington, CT.

Strangely this is one of the few grade school events I remember vividly. Why would someone remember the word they won with fifty years after the fact? I’m baffled.
I’ll let you know how we do. I’m hoping Joe and Sara can prop me up.
