In looking through this material more thoroughly I've found several of my own worksheets published under someone else's name. These were things I had put together for my students, and they were meant to be out there in the spirit of sharing resources. So it's nice to know that someone found them worthwhile, but it is a bit of a strange experience to be reading through something that is clearly your own work but having someone else named as the author.
