First Man

All hail and best of luck to Chuck Saylors, the 47-year-old, South Carolinian father of four who is "running" unopposed for a two year term as president-elect of the national PTA. If as is custom he then steps up, he will become the first man to top the organization first known as the National Congress of Mothers.

On the honey-do list for Saylors prepared by incoming president Jan Harp Domene is service as a role model for other fathers to encourage their involvement in their kids' schools. Oh, and he is supposed to do something about crumbling school buildings, as well.

** Is there any father who has tried to do more than take his orders of how to serve at a school function who doubts this mongoose is more stupid than brave as he enters the nest of vipers? **
