Hall of Fame ~

Good morning A/R ~ It's been a wild week, and I want to share a wonderful experience. Kent County High School First Induction into the Hall of Fame was this weekend. Dan Zottarelli, who has coached for years at KCHS spearheaded this event, with the help of a wonderful committee. Below is my daughter, Christyl Leigh Arrabal (in green) and Jamie Larrimore Fleetwood, PHd, both All-Americans in Field Hockey, and Christyl holds All-American in Lacross as well. Both are successful professionals who apply the lessons they learned from sports to other aspects of their life! Congratulations to both Jamie and Christyl.

Although these two girls are famous in MY life, among the other inductees were Ira "Dude" Smith, and Ryan Thompson, both graduates of Kent County High School who went on to play professional baseball

for many years. It was a wonderful event -- full of family, friends, coaches, administrators -- Warm stories were shared - and it showed again what a wonderful place Kent County, Maryland and Chestertown is to raise children in.

Thanks to Zot (Dan Zottarelli) and the committee again for a great job! Kent County is very lucky to have such great quality educators.
