I can’t tell you much that happened in elementary school,but I can distinctly remember assembly the principal Mr. Devitt on the first day of first grade in 1986. The memory isn't tied to anything he said or did, although he was an intimidating hulking presence and former football player, or but what lurked behind him. There a was grotesque yet funny,royal blue, plush toy monster that peered out from his office as he greeted students one by one. "He can’t be that mean, and he’s got a My Pet Monster," I told my six-year-ancient self.
