Yay! I got to talk to Marc!

Loretta Nall — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 09:48:46 -0700

As I was sitting in a school newspaper meeting Tuesday (I write for the college paper) my cell phone rang. The call was from an unknown number.

I usually don't answer those calls. However, I had talked to Jodie, Marc's wife, the evening before and she said Marc had been trying to call me all day the day before. She said if he called again the number would be unknown. I thought it might be Marc and sure enough it was.
