I didn't do anything but get out of your way. I still remember you in third grade walking around with your "Seven Sister Schools" catalog. I knew then that you had the bucket in your hand and were headed for the well!<br /><br />I look back to the days as your teacher with complete gratitude. You make me very proud. MM I don’t have to sit hear and listen to this!

if memory serves me right, you were the one who was so worried about not being able to read…and it was only after much wailing and gnashing of teeth that i finally gave in and bought those infernal flashcards. somehow you cooked up a deal with your father to purchase that ‘hooked on phonics’ kit, which i just recently gave away in pristine and unused condition.

in truth, i never worried about whether or not you could read, i knew from the first moment that i looked into those deep dark eyes that seemed to hold the wisdom of the ages that you had smarts.

i was/am far more interested in what kind of person you would develop into. and on that account you have rewarded me in spades: you are kind, funny, curious, compassionate, honest, passionate in your beliefs, brave, and the list goes on. waldorf certainly did it’s share in supporting all that.

all the other is just gravy…love you peachie.
