It comes from a dear non-classroom teacher who I’ve not seen for decades.
Elucidate
Before I was eight he taught me psychological diseases like fear of the number 13, Triskadekaphobia. I had to look each word up and get back to him with the answer. Way before personal computers, I put the Encylopaedia Brittanica to use.
Teachers are everywhere. You just have to seek them out. Right now Finding Forrester is one of my favorite films, a virtual JD Salinger connecting to a brilliant teen in the Bronx.
I am very lucky to have Forresters to call upon when needed. To G & J, thank you for everything. I didn’t try to write to be clever. I just write from my heart. The 500 words that were demanded in high school and college can now be written in a heartbeat, it’s just there, being unleashed as I wish our old dog could be. But that’s another story. Cheers! Dee
