24、kenness“ However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. Im not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village. It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known
25、as Byrons Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields.

It reminds me of Dorothy. 1 got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union Co
30、llege in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed“ in her remote area. Dorothy taught in a school in Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to h
31、er school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found i
32、t depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.

35、o the one and only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph.D degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand.

41、t, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels.

42、uth, and that days coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council （市政会）.The Council approved, and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere jokingly named the bridge “Nutty Narrows.“ Af
43、ter architects designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started construction. They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum and lengths of fire hose （消防水带）.It cost S1,000.
