You Asked For It...

For those who have wondered why Grace does not have a picture on the board of pictures of teachers as kids, it's because I don't have a picture of myself younger than age 14 at my house. However, recently, through the power of the internet, I got hold of my fourth-grade class picture. In all its awkward glory, here it is. It's not great resolution (though you can click on it for a somewhat larger version), but see if you can find me among the rest of the grinning mugs.
