Good for you Jackie Burr. As you know I was in the Oregon school system in the 50's and 60's from the third grade on. My school was in the middle of nowhere down in south eastern Oregon in a town called Bonanza, a school of 300 students (grade 1 through grade 12.) Later in life, I remember my principal reflecting back to my first days in school, saying he did not know what he was going to do about or for me, but he was going to try! That is what it takes is people willing to try.
