To Felix, thank you for re-issuing it. Errol, thank you for forwarding it.

Teaching was one of the jobs Christ did, the others were preacher and healer.

Only an old teacher could be walking down a street in another town, and be suddenly lifted off her feet by a burly young man who says, "Thank you , miss." To the amazement of all onlookers. Only an old teacher calls for a ride in a big airport, and the young man driving the wagon, says to everyone- "That's my teacher," with so much pride that the airport wagon becomes a Rolls Royce., with everyone smiling. Only a teacher could be called up on the day of the first inaguration of America's African-American President, and be told,"We are all here in DC, the whole class, and we just decided that if it was not for you, we would not be here, so I had to call and let you know."

And that, all of that, is more precious than gold.

Linda Edwards- third generation teacher, proud of the fact that there are four women in the fourth generation, on three continents.
