Kathleen was checking out at Cub Foods yesterday when young Kayleigh, the perky cashier, got a look at Kathleen's debit card, and asked:
"Do you have a son who's a teacher?
Kathleen responded "No, but I have a nephew who is a math teacher."
Almost going into a swoon, Kayleigh said: "Oh. . . I had him for Math, and he was SOO nice!"
And then, she added, "And his WIFE is nice too."
Kathleen said "Thank You" then bagged her groceries, now with a big smile and warm feeling inside.

| Ford and his daughter, Kaia. |
After two years of night, weekend and summer classes, studying, presentations and internships (not to mention working, coaching and being a family-man), Ford added another degree to his collection yesterday. Joining his Master's degree is an Administrative license. This means he now has the requisite credentials to apply for and become a principal. Completing this degree has been one of his goals since I met him 10 years ago. We are so happy for him and could not be prouder. He's hoping to be a principal of a school Kaia attends in the future. Poor kid, as if being a teacher's kid isn't hard enough already.
