We had our 20 year class high school class reunion in August of 2004 and I asked Lisa about Ms. Preston and if she remembered the paddling she received. She wasn’t too willing to talk about it at first, but after I kept probing her about it, and she really opened up. She told me that it was the first time she had been paddled at school and how embarrassing and painful it was. She also talked about the time that she was paddled when she was a Junior for skipping 7th period study hall. She said she received three swats from Mr. Gregory. I asked her all kinds of questions about the paddlings. It was a dream conversation.
