Escanaba High School Principal Jim Hansen hit the big time on Monday.
The "Ellen" show featured him in a starring role. Ellen DeGeneres called him out of the audience near the end of the show, touting him as someone with a special talent.
She had a little trouble pronouncing the word "Escanaba" and she thought it might be near Ann Arbor, but after Hansen good naturedly corrected her, he demonstrated his talent. It was something he said he performed during the high school's homecoming celebrations.
It was a cartwheel. And while it didn't quite qualify for the Olympic gymnastics team, it was a graceful enough effort for a man past his athletic prime.
His cartwheel drew hearty applause from Ellen and the audience.

Aunt G. called just as this show went off the air to let us know what was happening. I'll have to let her know you were right on top of it.
How come I'm not a member of Rich's VIP Link section? Is it because I am now a southerner?
