“Late one Friday afternoon a couple with a small baby came into our office. I was on ‘Floor Duty’ and even though it was time to go home, I had to assist these out of town buyers.
“When I walked into the conference room I saw this young thin female with 1 inch long orange hair and skin color of transparent white wash. She was holding a little baby. The man had an almost shaved head and a black tee shirt on with a picture of people reaching up inside a room with fire.
“They told me they were moving here from a larger city about 2 hours away. In the back of my mind I was thinking, ‘This is a waste of time. Like these people are really going to buy a house!’
“After a while I asked why they chose our little town to move to. The thin lady spoke up and explained she was the new Fine Arts Center Director which explained her extreme looks. When I asked the man about his shirt, he said it was designed by the teenagers at his Church where he was the Youth Minister. They started attending my church and he became my grandson’s 1st grade teacher!
“That was 10 years ago. They have moved on but we still communicate and are still good friends. Now every time they move she lets me know by starting off with ‘Where are you when we need you the most!’”
