What? By Paige d’Lephant I have stood in the shadow of greatness. Well, that is not entirely true. Rather, I was intimidated by it, had supper with ...it, laughed with it and insulted it. Equally, I was insulted by greatness, laughed at by greatness and humbled by it. This week I had supper with the United Nations’ single most powerful delegate – Major Sir Kaiser Mattanthas, Ph.D., M.Ed., B.A., B.Ed., B.Sci. M.Sci.. I suppose the best way to introduce my evening’s companion is to relate a little. “I see. Well then, I believe at this point it might be appropriate to let some people who actually have experience in the Program to speak. Mr Coris, who’s first in your group?”Kevin answered, “Jeremy, sir. Will you give our backgrounds or shall I?”Hanford smiled. “Perhaps I’d better. Your modesty will do you a disservice. Ladies and gents, these four young people have remarkable backgrounds. I perhaps know Jeremy Porter best, we’ve butted heads for the entire three months I’ve been at Norwich. The children arrived sooner than planned, and then there was just so much work to do. Tom had progressed in his work, so there never was a real financial reason for her to look for work when the children started school. She just sort of drifted, a wife and mother, keeping the house in order and doing the garden. Tom was a now a senior buyer for a large electronics company, and often was away at conferences or on business trips to negotiate with a supplier. Mary was left on her own for a lot of. Brenda, their mother, looked to her daughter and smiled as she said, “No boys over sweetie, Cameron will be watching out after you until we get back on Sunday evening. So behave like our good little girl.” She turned as her husband huffed and made his way out the door, frustrated that the getaway they’d planned was taking so long to get off on. One last glance over her shoulder and she closed the door behind her. She joined her husband in the car and he grinned knowing that he would soon hear.
