Transition Period
FOUND by Trish Hoskins in St. Paul, Minnesota
I'm a librarian here in St. Paul. While going through some older books on our shelves, I found this gem. We immediately thought to share with Found! Love the part about Dale not getting any presents for Christmas...

What in the world would cause the dean to limit this poor guy's Christmas? I can only thik that he may be using a lot of drugs and they didn't want him to sell or trade all his things for drugs. I also wonder how old this note is it's typed on a typewriter. This dean is a real Scrooge.

Why doesn't "the dean" have a name?? And why does "the dean" live in an apartment building. Scrooge..

I wrote notes to my parents from high ranking people...but I always remembered thier to use thier name, not thier title as thier name. This is a pretty funny attempt at saving his own ass. I wonder what he was up to that made him feel he didn't deserve christmas presents...The Barista

So, Billy called the school office one day and, putting on his best deep voice, explained that "Billy is sick and won't be able to come to school today." He convinced the secretary until she said, "Ok, and who is this?" ... And he replied, deep-voiced, "This? This is my dad."

I think Dale wrote this and it backfired. Haha!

Mia, I think you've got it spot on. Dale tried to write a phony report for his parents, but the real Dean found it and added the part at the bottom. Nice find. :)

Possibly Dale wrote the original and a "friend" found it and added the handwritten part, as a joke...? I hope Dale made it through his transition and got some Christmas gifts after all.

College life? This "dean" is at a college? I suspect this college is staffed and attended by "special" folks.

Personally, I think the best christmas present for Dale would be to enroll him in a course that covers proper letter-writing.

I like how "The Dean" typed it on notebook paper.

I immediately thought that Dale was about to 'come out'about really being a girl inside, so would want girly pressies for Xmas. Maybe I have an overactive imagination.

Methinks he wrote the note, delivered to his parental units, and the red was his mother's response.
