TX Veteran teacher in Harlingen, Taft, Bishop, & Odem loved teaching and miss it very much. Hilights of Career included teaching many years in Odem; while in Odem teaching G-T Programs in grades 2-5 for several years, teaching 5th graders in the very school where I attended many years ago; speaking at an OHS Graduation at the request of the students I had taught in 3rd grade so many years before; finally working with a group of great teachers and staff. I would like to thank everyone at all the schools for their kindnesses shown to me when addressing my daily, regular, and special needs. Teaching and learning take more than a village. They take a lifetime.
