Lebo Teacher As A Pilgrim

Michael Weber is the best kind of teacher, as students in Jefferson Elementary School in the Mt. Lebanon School District are finding out in an assembly today.

Dressed as a pilgrim from the 17th century, he enthralls his audience by transporting them back to one of the most important times in this nation's history.

Mr. Weber, 55, specializes in playing characters from the early 1600s who came here on the Mayflower and other ships.
