Teachers get thanked at Auntie’s tonight

Dan Webster

We all have teachers we remember for one reason or another. Some of those memories are bad. Many, though, are good. And some echo experiences that made positive differences in our very lives.

Awhile ago, I had the opportunity to share a positive memory about one of my high school teachers. It was for a book that was to be a collection of such memories. That book ended up being "Thank You, Teacher: Grateful Students Tell the Stories of the Teachers Who Changed Their Lives."

The co-editors of that book, Holly and Bruce Holbert, will present the book at Auntie's Bookstore tonight at 7. They will be joined by a number of the essay writers (though I, because of another commitment, will not be able to make the scene).

If you've every thought about thanking a teacher, you should go ahead and take the opportunity. Even if doesn't end up in a book, it will do you good. And it will help the deserving teacher, too.
