Teacher's Day! (Thanks, Google)

Yesterday, Google reminded those of us in the United States that it was Teacher's Day. Such an adorable doodle, am I right?

I am among the tremendous ranks of people whose lives have been shaped by wonderful teachers. So, here's to you Mom, Dad, Noble, Solemburger, Richard, Kruger, Nigg, Biller, Beckus, Fererra, Magus, Ingersol, Cole, Gerchak, Tobias, Mey-Lar, Gunderson, Costello, Jorgensen, Johnson, Blake, Gigstad, Dunn, Larson, Ring, Horst, Cermack, Farren, Hall, Brown, Smith, Simmons, Bates, Gilstrap, Whitchurch, Howard, Jones, Resse, Olsen, Donakey, Oaks, Spencer, Gardner, Grimshaw, Turley, Lawrence, McInnis, Chapman, Layton, Skousen, Hallen, Elzinga, Thorne, and the myriad of others that have escaped my memory but have no less made a difference in my mind, heart, and character.

I am grateful for teachers, and one day after they are nationally recognized, I wanted to personally recognize them.

P.S.--Happy Star Wars Day! May the Fourth be with you.
