People Who Made A Difference

For a while, I’ll be writing about teachers and others who made a great difference in my life. Of course my parents were a factor, but that’s a given.

My Aunt Lorna not only taught me to sit up straight, but let me know that a napkin was a serviette and how to speak proper English (she was an English teacher) and she is a really “neat” aunt, as well.

Joan C. was her partner in a summer catering business and a fellow teacher. She was “cool” back in the day and she is still a mentor and friend. And still cool, of course.

These exceptional women have taught me love, respect, caring and telling a kid to eat something before asking what’s in it. That expanded my palate, for which I am forever thankful.

You may not be so thankful as I’ve many others and have not yet compiled a list! The wind has come up and we may actually have snow coming in at least four days this week. The resorts will love it but the wind is coming in fast.

More later. Cheers, Dee
