I hope so too. Haven’t heard, though he does read this. I suspect he hated it. He’s terrible with receiving gifts, but we keep trying to show he’s worth love & kindness.

Happy belated birthday from a former student. You were an inspiration and helped nurture my love of history. You were the best teacher to ever grace the halls at Pal-Mac. (My son is now the American history teacher there) Thanks for everything!
