Thank you for your kind words.

I think the easiest thing I can say is if you can find something that you love, and you can make a living at that,

then everyone is happy, people you come in contact with and yourself.

I feel very, very fortunate, very lucky to have pursued my two greatest passions, teaching and travel.

And I was thinking about how many years I've been teaching.

I actually have been teaching most of my adult life nearly 60 years.

Started as a part-time teacher in junior, what, about the seventh grade in Santa Cruz.

I survived that.

It was tough.

If you've ever dealt with that age group, it's tough.

And loved every minute of it.

And, of course, the 37 years that I spent at City College was a joy.

To give you an idea of how far reaching that program was, my younger brother Scott taught with me.

He's here with me, as well as some of my other family members, friends, clients.

And we were talking about our students.

And we came up with a list of students that came from countries that we can't go to.

Myanmar.

Venezuela is a tough, tough deal.

Lebanon.

Syria, we had a series of students that came from Syria, three, four students.
