It was a fun day at Holston Middle School as the school had a special guest on Monday, September 28. Richard Lambert, Special Agent in Charge of the Knoxville Division of The Federal Bureau of Investigation stopped by to deliver a special letter.
That letter, from FBI Director Robert Mueller, was delivered to student Parker Norton. In July, Norton won Jeopardy! Kids Week. In all, Parker cleared $22,000 on the show.
Parker received the letter from Mueller because in 2008, he graduated from the FBI's Junior Special Agent Program and was awarded the Junior Special Agent status.
