Well, I was sold some time ago, based simply on the sample
presentations at the Reunion. But now Joy's comments have me so
excited I can think of little else but seeing these young people in
action - RIGHT NOW! I'm excited, and even scared, and, of coursed,
humbled.
I suspect one reason these students are doing amazing things is
because they don't yet know what is impossible, or rather what is
believed by adults to be impossible. No idea is too ridiculous to try
out.
I'm paying off the utilities and medical bills today. My Camp
Shakespeare check is just as important.
Thanks, everyone, for your wonderful comments. And special thanks to
you, Joy, (and Bruce and Clay) for reminding us that miracles, or
something nearly like them, still happen.
