Sincere thanks to all of you friends, parents, fellow staff members, students
and former students who made my retirement perfect. I read every note, every
card, every square on the guitar case, every tag and enjoyed every reference,
photo, drawing and kind word. You're absolutely the best. I am not sure how
you all pulled it off, but indeed you did and it wasn't until I arrived home
that I realized there was still more to my already fantastic last day.
Very sneaky.
I leave you in good hands, that's for sure. Kelly Cassidy is truly one of the
best teachers I've had the pleasure of working with. She is relentless in her
endeavor to reach every student. She has high expectations and a very soft
heart. She and the next teacher will carve out their own futures and lead
hundreds of more children through new experiences and ideas. They will share
the laughter, tears, successes and challenges that make teaching the closest
thing to parenting. Your children will continue to bring to them their
natural curiosity, motivation and humor. Many, many good years lie ahead for
the MAC program I have been so fortunate to have been a part of.
On this site this time you will see throughout, every page of the beautiful
book full of your memories and good wishes. These are last images I am proud
to leave you with. Be well and try to find humor when you can. I can tell you
from experience, it makes the time fly.
Special thanks to Kelly, Kitty, Mike, Amy and Sachin. You have made this last
year a complete pleasure.
