As part of “March is Reading Month,” President Docking was invited to Michener Elementary School in Adrian to read to Mrs. Kesterke’s kindergarteners. The little ones proved that questioning minds begin to develop long before college. As soon as the president walked in the door, students asked, “Can you juggle?” and “Are you the president in the White House?” (3/14/07)
