Several years ago, a group of Jr. High boys took up a collection and got this switchblade knife for me for Christmas. One of the boys had an older brother in the Army and he did the purchase.

2 of them stood guard at my classroom door in case the Principal showed up while the rest gave it to me just as the bell rang to get out for Christmas break. One boy admonished me to "not get caught with it at school."

Over the years, I have thought about it often and have to chuckle to myself each time about the circumstances of the act.
