The fi fth in the series, it may be the most meticulously designed and executed ornament yet, if only because the store’s owner, Thomas Scanlin, had a hand in the process. Scanlin claims not to be a perfectionist. He is, however, Oh dear, a jeweler, he says. “Jewelers live and die by perfection. If there is a fl aw in a diamond, or a setting is off, I see it,” he said. bless her heart This year’s ornament went through at least nine versions before Scanlin was satisfi ed it was the best it he said it, of course, with a could be.

Now, we all know that Memphis women are among the best Southern women. They know their black-eyed peas and collards when it comes to Southernism. She corrected me, spelling the name in capital letters leaving out an extra ‘r’ I had put in. Then she wrote, “It only has one ‘r’, dear.” That’s when I knew I had really been put in my place. I could just MARGO BOOTH hear the condescension in her tone. Once, a young woman forcefully refuted a logistic I had given her. MARGO BOOTH “That is not correct,” she said rather hatefully.

The challenge: constructing and then delivering a wheel chair ramp and landing in three days for the community’s friend, Roy Dan Davis. The materials were delivered to the school by 10 a.m. Monday morning by Roy Dan’s son Jay, and the students commenced work immediately. The students embraced the project working as a team with one goal of making sure the deadline was met, said Bearinger. Some students even worked through their lunch. “This project provided opportunities for the students to hone their construction skills,” added Bearinger. “However, the main lesson it reinforced was the giving of oneself to others.” The deck and ramp were completed Tuesday and delivered Wednesday morning with the students participating in the site installation.
