Biology Instructor Len Millis was recently given a gift of suspenders
by Cathleen Smith in appreciation for repairing the skeleton used
by the Early Childhood Education Program. The skeleton, which is
real and is affectionately known as Amazing Grace, had fallen into
disrepair, but Millis mended her, and also spent time showing ECE
students how to handle and transport her in a respectful manner.
