Today, World Teachers’ Day, I give thanks for:
Father
Mother
Grandmother
Aunts
Sister
Brother-in-law
Cousin
Miss Stuck
Jim Hassel
Larry Sells
Jack Stotts
and all (well at least most) of the teachers and educators I have known.
Each has touched my life and shaped my being.
From each I learned about the subject matter at hand.
From the best I learned to think, to question, to live, to be.
This day, as I should every day, I give thanks for teachers.
See you along the Trail.
