To Cherry, without whose unconditional support and love

this journey would never have been as successful, memorable

and as much fun as it has been.

She touched the lives of thousands in our 50 years together.

Your education has been a failure, no matter how much it has done

for your mind, if it has failed to open your heart.

– Anon

An understanding heart is everything in a teacher and cannot be

esteemed highly enough. One looks back with appreciation to the

brilliant teachers but with gratitude to those who touched our human

feeling. The curriculum is so much raw material but warmth is the

vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of a child.

– Carl Jung
