Good morning. Happy Wednesday!

Today is National Teacher Day - so a special good morning to all of you teachers out there!

How many times in your life have you heard a story about a life-changing event that started with "Well, there was this teacher..."

I'll never forget my third-grade teacher, Sister Rose. She tried and tried to get me to slow down. "Look before you leap, Shawn. Look before you leap." It never worked, but Sister Rose tried. And I still love her to this day for it.

And Dr. Fitch in community college convinced me I needed to get my doctorate in literature because I had such an aptitude for analysis and storytelling. And I didn't in the end. But her belief that I could led me down some crazy roads that have landed me smack dab in the middle of this place. And that ain't so bad.

Today, make sure and take a moment and think about all the teachers that made a difference in your life - and to say thank you to the ones teaching your loved ones now.

Oh my gosh! You had Dr. Fitch, too? I LOVED her. Surely we have talked about community college (JD, I presume?) and Dr. Fitch...haven't we? And if not, why not?

I see on my evite you may make it Friday night -- can't wait to catch up. :-)
