all the presidents then.

I remember being president, or at least co-president, junior president, vice president, secretary of the president, checker president (who checked a list to see who was there), or some title with the word president in it more than once, in our neighborhood clubs that we made up. we had a book club, bike club, exploring scary old houses club, safety drill club, walking far club (we took canteens), detective club… we loved to have clubs and we loved to have job titles, without really having any jobs to do. today, all these years later, on president’s day, I honor all of the kids who held our presidential positions and did our best to have fun adventures every day and make sure everybody was okay and got home for meals on time with both shoes.
