A letter from May 14, 2025

Dear Future Patrick, Remember when in 6th grade you played on the football team and only got about 30 minutes of play time in games? Remember when you asked Mrs. Gayle if she can do spin-jitzu because Trevor Hoitt told you to and you got in trouble and had to get down on your knees and beg for Mrs. Gayles forgiveness but she still rejected you and sent you to Mr. Beadke? Remember every time in S.S. when you carried Trevor Hoitt through all his work? Remember when you tried out for the baseball team and messed up really bad during the hitting part when you did mostly good on everything else, then went to a baseball game after that for Glen Allen and hit a homerun over the fence, then another one 2 weeks later? Remember when Brodie Brunel was catching for the other team when you were hitting and started barking, then you started barking, then the ump started barking, and then the entire field started barking but then you hit the ball straight to first base? Also remember that if your final averaged grades were all A’s you would get an Oculus Quest 3? Here are some tips for 8th grade: make a baseball team, keep making your parents buy you stuff for all A’s, and don't make Mrs. Gayle sad or you’ll get in trouble. Lastly, remember when you were 6th grade?
