You have been a great friend and yes, mentor, for what, over twenty years?! I’m sorry for assigning “outlines” in AP American History, I was young and compliant. But you have stuck with me. You have three kids of your own and have graced my classroom many times since our initial educational rendez-vous. I treasure our chats. You keep me on my toes. Thank you for keeping me grounded (or at least trying), and for questioning me and my motivations. You have been a great teacher, and I look forward to many many more dialogues. - see you soon. ~I
