Samantha's latest claim to fame (or, "How embarrassing, dad!")

Our daughter, Samantha, was pictured in the local paper long jumping during a recent track meet.  A lot of fun has been had with this one.  Her history teacher printed out enough copies for the class, had Sam come and sit up front and autograph copies for her classmates as they filed up one by one - I thought that was pretty cool, not to mention borderline hilarious; Samantha - not so much. :)  Lisa also printed this pic out and put it in a stand up frame right smack dab in the middle of our kitchen counter, much to Sam's delight - not! :)  Anyway, here's the pic (very appropriate pose for Ascension Day, I'd say - gazing into heaven and all): 

Alma's Sam Messer competes in the long jump during the track meet at Alma College on Wednesday.
