RECITATIONS

The following article is from Sue's News from April 18, 2016:

                           HARDLY A MAN IS STILL ALIVE

My friend Vivian Thomas and I have been known to do impromptu recitations.  I understand that students of today are not required to "recite" as part of their schooling.

Last year on April 18, we were at a political meeting.  Before the meeting began, I looked at Vivian and asked, "Are you ready?" She gave me a look of disgust, immediately sensing my plan.

At the end of the meeting, the Chairperson asked, "Are there any further remarks?" I stood and said, "Vivian Thomas and I would like to do a recitation."

Vivian is truly amazing; she recalled more verses than I and I think we learned it in the 6th grade.

Please read the words of The Midnight Ride Of Paul Revere and listen to the recitation. I believe the recitation by Vivian and me was more forceful.  I wish I had a recording of our performance.
