A Story Worth Telling By Leon Aldridge
“All things come to those who wait.” From an early 20th Century poem by Lady Mary Montgomerie Currie writing under the pseudonym Violet Fane.
I used to run across the old black-and-white photo and dime store autograph book every so often. When I did, my thought was always the same. Why didn’t I save just a snippet of information as to their origin all those years ago? “No problem, you’ll remember,” said the deceptive little voice in my head.
But every time they popped up in a search for something else hidden in my interesting junk archive, all I could remember was “a lady in Joaquin.” So the last time I saw them, I smiled with resignation that the story of how they came to be would always be lost to time.
There are no âtypicalâ students at Napa Valley College. This is one of their stories.
Growing up in Fairfield, California, Chris Lemley didnât strike many who knew him as a candidate for college.
âI was a terrible kid, on drugs, in trouble with the law, ditching school. I was a train wreck,â 32-year-old Lemley said. âI really had no formal education after sixth grade. I attended school, but failed all my classes, even PE. I dropped out.
âMy whole family and many of my friends looked at me as a person who would probably spend his life in and out of jail, except for my grandfather, Leonard, who never gave up on pushing me to pursue an education. He always told me he thought I could do better and wanted that for me.â
