box, i always suspected you were a super nice guy. didn't realize you were such an experienced and excellent educator. congratulations on being such a great person to so many people. i have a couple educators from my life that i cherish as your students and co-workers apparently do you and i will always be appreciative of them.
good luck with the retirement. my dad just retired finally and i've never seen him happier. just reading a few articles on you i'm sure you'll find a way to make a difference in those kids or some other kids' lives and keep being an asset to your community. we need more people like you and this country wouldn't be slipping the way it is.
