Jacob's settlement with the board of education also required that the board change its attendance policy to comply with the state's policy and that credits be restored to all students whose credits had been illegally withheld. Jacob's family is proud that Jacob persevered and received his diploma. We have the utmost respect for this young man who fought not only for his rights, but also for the rights of his fellow students. Submitted by the family and friends of Jacob Allen Lee. I get the more thankful I am for that.
Pop is many things.
He is the master of the knuckle ball. And as a kid I became better with a glove learning to snag the dancing baseball that lacked rotation when it left his fingers. My father was a hot shot basketball player, Monroe High School's leading scorer his junior year, who missed most of his senior year after an ankle injury against Cauthan Westbrook and Madison County. But the story Pop tells most about his high school basketball days was when he slipped and fell down as he led the team through the line of cheerleaders before a tournament game. But he rarely shows off his skill.
