Speaking of heroes.
The story of L.A. calculus teacher Jaime Escalante is documented in the flick Stand and Deliver. It's nice to have heroes like that. Someday they'll make a movie about a local hero, Steve Kelley. Kelley is the de facto director of the Boys' Club on Water St. in Lawrence, Massachusetts.
