Hello All:
The moderator kindly invited me to join, and I've just spent some time going through the posts on school paddling. I see a couple of old friends here, including RG who is very familiar with the story of how a friend and I each received five licks in high school shortly before my 18th b-day in 1993.
It was interesting to see a story in the Raleigh News & Observor a few weeks back stating that 70% of school districts in North Carolina continue to paddle in this Year of Grace MMVI. I had no idea it was that many.
In all events, I am looking forward to participating in this forum.
BTW, I am confident RG will concur that my senior year paddling was wholly undeserved. He will, I am confident, attest that Yours Truly personifies all the virtures of Southern Womanhood and ought *never* to have found myself poking my tender, tremulous fanny (_|_) outward & upward in the straining denim of faded Wranglers for those five licks administered by a crabby female AP.
