Found this photo in my files and tried the "Reflections" widget on it. This is my dad surrounded by grandkids and grandnephews. This was taken on his birthday July 31, 2005--two years before he passed away. He was very happy on that day! A family reunion was planned to coincide with his birthday. At that time he and my Aunt Carrie were the last of the fifteen siblings left. Aunt Carrie died about six months after this. She was not well enough to attend the reunion.
Both my parents were in education and my dad in particular was inspiration for being a teacher. He was a teacher, a principal and later a professor in education who taught teachers to teach. He also inspired a love of reading in our family. I couldn't help but get certified as a reading specialist on top of my degrees!
