      Let me give you a joke Kenton about your dad no disrespect meant.
      At SMA in the 70’s your dad called in from mahaut to SMA just before assemmbly.Father Felix was the principle then.

      he told us he had just answered/taken a call from Clement.
      Which went as follows.
      “Good morning father.How are you today?”
      I am calling to inform you that Clement Henry
      will not be coming to school today. He is not well. This is my father speaking” lol
