... Now, Mr. Keesee was another thing.  My first encounter with him was when he sent for me to report
to his office one morning during first period to tell me that I was wanted at the Newport News Police
Department right away!!  I almost fell in the floor. To make matters worse, he didn't tell me why they
wanted to see me.  As it turned out, I was working part-time after school at Home Furniture Company
and they had been robbed the night before.  All employees had to go to the Police Department to be
fingerprinted so our fingerprints could be distinguished from the culprit's.  Mr. Keesee, Mr. Wheary,
and Miss Gildersleeve all had a chuckle for me when I returned and seemed to delight in kidding
me about it from then on.
