Teacher Hikes to Washington D.C. from Marion, Michigan

2006 (WPBN NBC Traverse City 7&4 News video. Please also visit http:www.highlandwire.org

In April of 2006, a Marion Public Schools board member began a six-week hike to Lansing, Michigan and Washington D.C. The trip culminated in a meeting with U.S. congressman Dave Camp to discuss the district's hiding of financial information; the abuse of police power; and the multiple threats made towards families in the Marion area.

This 700 mile journey began west of Marion, Michigan and continued on through Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Washington D.C.

Bizarrely, the trip began with Marion high school principal Larry Johnson lying in wait for the hiker at Marion's elementary school. Johnson then drove ahead - through the Marion Elementary School crosswalk - with both of his hands clapping overhead and his eyes fixed in the rearview mirror.

Fortunately, no Marion Elementary students were injured in this or a remarkably similar incident in which the Marion High School principal Larry Johnson nearly ran down the crossing guard and multiple children.
