Extraordinary Gifts Of John Kelsing By Warren Proctor

Cameron and Kate arrived at the school on time. This was something rare for them, their  busy schedules didn't allow it often. They were looking for Ruth it was her big day. She was hosting her classes annual fundraiser. Every year they would raise money for the school. This was something Ruth loved, she was a pro had her mothers spark. 


     The kindergarten students made their way in with Ruth leading. Kate and Cameron waived and smiled watching on. Ruth hosted the event with so much flair and enthusiasm, that made Kate proud. She never received that type of support from her mother. In fact all they did was fight, she could barely talk to her mother as a youth. 


     As the event was coming to a close Kate noticed a familiar face standing in the back corner of the auditorium. It was John Kelsing. He was watching standing arms crossed. Kate turned around as she was being asked to come to the stage. This was normal , every year she would be asked to speak. She was a dedicated parent and donated her time and money in the schools activities. 


    "I would like to thank the entire staff here , I'm proud to be apart of this annual event ."She shook hands and took pictures as the event wrapped up. 


     "Quite a princess you have there" John said approaching. Kate smiled getting her families attention.


    "Thank you sweetie this is John Kelsing he is a custodian at the university."


    "Pleasure to meet you " Cameron said as the two men exchanged a hand shake. 


   "And this must be Ruth .... hello there" John said.


   "I really enjoyed your event your a natural."


   "Thank you I'm use to it now" Ruth said as Kate and Cameron watched on. 


   "So what brought you out here?" Kate asked. 


   "I heard the school was hoisting a event thought I stop by."


   "Oh yea we do this every year the whole community comes out" Kate said nodding .
