A DAY IN HISTORY!

 by Superintendent Robert "Bob" Lewandowski 

LOOK AT THE DATE! 

LOOK AT THE PICTURE CAPTION!

That is right, December 7, 1941. This was the very day Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. On that day in history, we see our very own, Business Clerk here in the district: Neil Easter.  The caption says it all:

Sleepy Shopper - He was just a little tike of three and a half. His little legs wouldn't stand up, like those of the big folks, for a very long shopping trip. So he decided to take a little nap. Which he did at a downtown bookstore despite milling crowds of Saturday afternoon Christmas shoppers. 

The boy is Neil Easter, young son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Easter, 537 South Eighth street, Hamilton, Ohio. He was with his mother who came up to Richmond to do her shopping, she said "He was tired and after making sure that I'd be somewhere around, decided to sit down. First thing I knew he was fast asleep," Mrs. Easter said.

And he stayed asleep despite smiling, tip-toeing customers and popping flashbulbs. When his mother was ready to leave she had to rouse him. But he was asleep again the minute his head touched her shoulder.
