Dr. Isaacs

Chris went to see Grandad Sunday, and while visiting he said, "Hey Keek, you know that guy over there, Dr. Isaacs."

Sure enough, that was the dentist she worked for growing up. Her Middle School English teacher, Mrs. Isaacs, called her down to the office one day and asked if she would fill in for Doc's assistant at his office while she was on vacation. While there, she even learned to mix fillings!

So for years after that, Dr. Isaacs' summer help was always filled by a "Cota Kid."

She leaned down to see him, now over 80, right arm amputated and in long term care, and asked if he remembered her.

"You're a Cota Kid!" he said, his old eyes recognizing her.

Her eyes teared as she told us about him at supper tonight. Great to remember, and be remembered!
