Alma Mater

Last evening we went to the Luau at Holy Nativity Episcopal School, put on by the PTO. The auditorium-cafeteria-chapel was decorated nicely, the desserts were special, and the supper of bbq, beans, and slaw from Pineapple Willy’s was excellent! Beyond excellent was the company, and just plain being there. What a happy place. Oh my, what a happy place!

Linda and I walked down the hall of the Bill Lloyd Building to look at the penguins the children had made, all different sorts of penguins. Lots of art up and down the hall. Flags of nations. Posters about grandparents. The 48-Star American Flag that flew in my years there. To the right of The Flag the photo of my Cove School graduating Class of 1949, yep, that’s me.

Out the new doors at the south end of the building under the clear sky, moon and a couple planets, the little red schoolhouse looks great with imaginative landscaping: the HNES arch.

Cove, Cove, dear old Cove,

thee we’ll never fail.

Hail to thee, our Alma Mater,

hail to Cove, all hail!
