Getting closer...

After several weeks, Daily News columnist Jen Armstrong met with La Salle student Kara Harpel and a student at Logan Elementary School who have been bigsister/littlesister for four years. I'd mention the elementary student's name, but I probably would have to get permission to do that, so I'm going to hold off givin her name: but if she's reading this, I promise I'll post it!

Jen talked to the two students for about an hour. I normally don't stick around when a reporter meets the La Salle subject, but I'm glad I did because Jen asked a question that I didn't think to ask: did either of them have sisters? The answer is no, and perhaps that's one reason the two bonded. In more than two years of talking to Kara, I never thought to ask her that question!

Jen is looking into having a photographer take their pictures, and you know what that means: more permission forms, probably. But it will be worth it. (By the way, I was in the principal's office, and got a call from Jen saying she was on her way, when I was told that a permission slip was not filled it. I saw my life flash before my eyes.....)
