My Cousins, The Wright Brothers

My great-grandfather’s grandmother was Sarah Wright Harris.  She was the only sister to Orville and Wilbur Wright’s father, Milton.  My great-great grandmother was Laura Harris, Sarah’s daughter — a first cousin to Wilbur and Orville.  That makes me a first cousin four times removed!  In our special High School Edition #16, I share some encouragement from the Wright brothers, an apprenticeship opportunity and our readers answer the question on helping a 14 year old boy work more independently.  Enjoy! :-)
