Dear friends,
     My how 34 years  have flown by.  It really does not seem that long ago that I was walking into my first assignment; a 7th grade classrtoom in Bath Co. Virginia.  I have had a wonderful career full of much success, laughs and yes even a few tears.  I would not  change one moment of it.  My greatest joys have come when previous students stop by to see me  and they share their plans for the future.  A few have even shared that they plan to teach....all becasue of me.  It is then that I truly understand  the power  and influence of a teacher. The only profession in the world that touches the future for generation to come.
