I will be 72 years of age Friday, November 25. May I say I’m very elated and thrilled with PA Memorial and PN-Groves. Their wins over the Fort Bend schools. Now for my birthday, may they both PAM and PNG continue to win and wish them the success over and continue to “Telstar” and “Woo Boo Boo” until they claim the top, then return to PAM and PNG.

Meanwhile, a few words/verbs and the one noun in español:

Vaya! Vaya! Vaya! PAM y PNG hasta ustedes … TOUCHDOWN! (Go! Go! Go! PAM and PNG until y’all … TOUCHDOWN!) TOUCHDOWN es el mismo, the same.

If PAM and PNG go all the way, then how about a grand parade. Call it the PNG-PAM parade on streets and avenues, Twin City Highway, 25th Street-39th Street, the bordering boundaries of PAISD/PNGISD? How about the pedestrian factor? This would involve the two cities of Port Arthur and, like to say, the Groves.

Do it together (“juntos”).
