Columbus Day . . .
yODAY is Columbus Day and
that reminds me that my
grand-daughter, Kathy Lu,
who is seven years old and
starting second grade, has been
studying about Columbus this
week. She was so carried away
with the study that when she
got home that night she wrote
her own version of the
Christopher Cojumbus story
' . . . just for the heck of it'.
Kathy'a story about Colum-
bus follows, just as she wrote
it. It may turn out to be the
best column I ever handed the
typesetter!
