After 30 inches of snow, we've been digging out. <br />Linda, you not only bore your trials well, you helped me teaching a class when another instructor could no longer do so. Thank you so much. I don't know how you do all that you do. Grace under pressure is an understatement as applied to you! We're all hoping 2016 holds accomplishment and joy.E. B.

During my mother's final illness, my students propped me up and kept me going. When I thanked one particularly kind young woman, she said, "Do you remember last year, when you helped me? Now it's your turn."
