## The story

Stu Kowalski never once used a computer graphic. He stood in front of a giant metal map and slapped down magnetic suns, raindrops and lightning bolts like he was playing a board game. When snow was coming he wore a tie covered in snowflakes, so kids watched for the tie instead of the forecast.

## Fun fact

The snowflake tie appeared the night before every snow day, so kids started calling it the Freedom Tie.
