March 14, 200521 yr One of my students went to the autoshow this weekend in Kansas City, at which Ben "Cooter" Jones was showing off the General Lee. As I was unable to go, I asked my student if he could try to get an autograph.This morning, the kid shows up to class with a framed picture of Cooter leaning on the General Lee. It was signed...To AmandaCooterBen JonesThe student also told me that Mr. Jones chatted with him for a while. The student had mentioned that I was "stuck in the 60's" (since I also have a Monkees lunchbox) and Mr. Jones had laughed in agreement (even though Dukes is an 80's show).I brought it home and all Jam could say was, "That is so cool!" We're gonna have to find a good place to hang it now! It'll probably go in my "hippie" corner with a lot of my Monkees and Route 66 stuff.As for the student who got it for me, can you say "suck up"? For some reason, he thinks I owe him a favor. No really, he's a good kid and I'll have to be nice to him the rest of the year.
