Military veteran, teacher honored with High 5

Any history book will teach lessons of sacrifice, patriotism and democracy. But students at Lincoln Academy in Pleasant Grove get an experience beyond any book.
That's because their history teacher, Mr. Durrant, also goes by the title of Master Sgt. And before they say good-bye to him, they wanted to say thanks. So we gave him this week's High 5.
Master Sgt. Charles Durrant uses his military stories and experiences to bring history lessons alive. Teachers and parents agree those experiences have helped his students gain a greater appreciation for the price of freedom.
As Mr. Durrant prepares to leave for his second tour in Afghanistan, his students are very proud of their teacher. But that doesn't mean they won't miss him.
Ninth grader Maegan Jacot said, "I didn't really know a lot about the war. I just knew there was something going on over there. But he has really helped me know why we had to go over there and everything that is happening over there."
The academy's office manager, Lisa Coombs, helped us present this morning's High 5. She told Mr. Durrant, "The students, the teachers, the faculty and board are so pleased with how you inspire these students to learn, how you make history come alive and how you keep them wanting to come to our school every day."
Mr. Durrant said, "I'm simply a soldier and I'm their teacher, and there is nothing heroic in what I do. It's just my life and really a simple thing."
Mr. Durrant received a KSL Swag Bag and tickets to see the Auto Show at the South Towne Expo Center. He deploys on Jan. 20. Also, he will be on Studio 5 later this morning.

Work out ferments the humors, casts them into their right channels, throws bad redundancies, and helps feather in those confidential distributions, without which the fuselage cannot subsist in its vigor, nor the man fake with cheerfulness.
Some purists claim that Rolex replicas are not the way to go ?however, one suspects that these same people may belong to the wealthier set where disposable income is not an issue. Imagine having to pay $20,000 for a watch that you may wear infrequently! This is where an imitation watch serves a perfect purpose. The quality of these replica timepieces are now so perfect that it is almost impossible to tell the difference between that and the original.
