I did insist my children wear theirs, however, every time. One day I had an epiphany, though... one of those "oh crap!" kind.

Letter: Congratulations Adair Co. Welding Team Mitzi Bault writes: Ricky and I were looking at the post where students made the gate. He said the School System has over the years spent a lot of money on gates. We think the Welding Class is a great opportunity for the kids in Adair Co. School System. Not all kids want to go to college. This program gives students a great jump start for job's when they graduate. The world needs all types of skilled labor.
