    I am glad that you are seeing this school year to the end. (Aren't you the second from the left?) I worry about you but you seem to have a second wind these days. We sure need to catch up. XO

    I've always thought that good teachers are just about the most important people in the whole, wide world.

    Poignant -- bittersweet post. Of course I love the quotes (no surprise from a retired teacher's wife). I know you'll find something you love. But I also know it won't be the same.

    What a fine looking crew you all are. Wow, the shcool is closing - is a new one being built? Genie, you look as young as those girls. I agree with Barbara - "Good teachers are just about the most important people in the whole, wide world."
