What a flashback for me. My grandmother was a crossing guard for the school district. I also fondly remember my elementary school crossing guard, especially when I was a AAA school patrol. Her husband was a delivery man for Thomas English muffins and would frequently give packages of them to my family. My love of English muffins continues to this day. It resonated with me when Ed talked about watching the students grow up because Mrs. Russo kept in touch with me and would occasionally call when I was a teacher to tell me how proud she was of the success I had. She was a beautiful soul, and so was my grandmother.
