@BeschlossDC I was a young public school teacher, home on a rare snow day, watching the launch on TV that morning. When I realized what had happened, I sat there in my bathrobe and cried. One of my friends told me that her husband, a lifelong space nerd and former teacher, cried all day.
Even if live to be 100, I’ll never finish thanking all my friends, students, and colleagues for making my retirement one to remember. @Mr_Ashbrook , @GarySkeen01 , and my precious Scholastic Bowl team have given me ineffable joy, and I am forever grateful. #propstrocks
Today I received the ultimate retirement send-off: a personalized message from Dwayne @TheRock Johnson! Thanks to all my beloved students and colleagues. BVPS, YOU ROCK! #propstrocks
This is my favorite pet photo of all time...my little brother Neil and one of our favorite cats, Smiley, who weighed 23 pounds. The photo is about 50 years old. #bearcatspirit
