Jack responded:
Congratulations!!! Ummm....I really don't know what you do now --- that's my father's territory but I do know that Virginia, Florida .... makes no difference. Call him!!!
Then I did place that phone call to his father (Jack sr, that is) and he took my case. Zero was to pay his fees.
Lena is in the new school, which is actually older, it being just across the side entrance to the city hall. The building is probably from mid-XIX century or older. The new teacher is looking good, even with the just slightly cultivated montagnari accent. May be the same kind as the previous teacher, but can't be that bad as she has to deal with the parents from downtown, who are far more influential. And there's the inspection just 200m away.
Around this time we hired Joja into Avai. Brlja and I had rattled him for a full hour during the interview and he passed.
