A Visit from the 5th graders from Hawkins Elementary

We had a wonderful visit from over 60 5th graders from Hawkins Elementary School. They were a curious yet well behaved lot. They loved being recorded and being played back on the air, but from what I could tell they really enjoyed the Engineering/Internet Technology room full of all the computer servers, wire and high tech gizmos that light up. One kid proclaimed, "I could play some serious games with all this".

Sunny 106.5 has been giving tours to Boy/Girls Scouts, and schools for decades. I have been a tour guide since 1997 and I love every minute of it. I have to say that the 5th graders from Hawkins Elementary School were the most well behaved and the politest that I have encountered yet. They're all just cute at that age. They were a VERY smart group. NONE of them wanted to grow up and be D.J.s. I told you they were smart. :-)

Good job teachers and thanks to Mrs. Cathy Kelley ( I hope I spelled your name correctly)

You wanna hear something funny...one of the kids was named John Schneider. He is also on the second six weeks A/B honor roll. YOU GO JOHN!

John Schneider weekend.

Man, it has been busy around here this year. We were so lucky to have John Schneider return to East Texas. He brought his new movie with him so that we could wacth it at the Carmike Cinema in Tyler. Collier & Co.: Hot Pursuit is definitely going over the fun limit.
He hung out with us at Saturn of Tyler on Saturday. He was kind enough to lend his name (and himself) to The American Cancer Society. $500 from each Saturn sold at Saturn of Tyler in the month of January goes to the American Cancer Society, thanks to another John...John Java of Saturn of Tyler!

On Sunday, we had a special luncheon with John and all the proceeds went to The American Cancer Society. We got to hang out with "Bo Duke", eat some DELICIOUS food from Clear Springs and help a wonderful cause. It was a win-win scenario. Thanks to all of you who came out to see John and support the A.C.S.

Molly Reuter and Kendrick from KLTV 7 showed up to capture the moment and believe me you, the kids were peeking through the service bay window at Saturn of Tyler to get a glimpse of "Bo Duke".
