RANDALL ELEMENTARY: Former Truman student returns from boot camp to surprise his little brother!

For school students, Friday means the weekend is here. But for Randall Elementary School fourth-grader Zachary Snider, last Friday (June 7) turned out to be a little different. And a little more special.

Snider's brother is Joshua Harris, in basic training at the Naval Station Great Lakes near Chicago for the past six months. But, before Joshua sent sails for destinations around the world, he wanted to see his brother.

So he made a surprise trip back to Randall before heading off for San Diego, CA, and duty on the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan. By the smiles on their faces, everyone could see that they couldn't wait to see each other again.

Joshua, by the way, attended Truman High School.

Something tells us that Friday is always going to hold a special place in Zachary's heart.

And, from "Talking Taylor Schools," a good luck to Joshua Harris. We're all proud of you!
