Judy, thank you so much. Your words reminded me of a quote from long ago that I'll probably repeat wrong, but I know you know what I mean. It goes something like this: The art of teaching is teaching from the heart. Hillary spoke about the 18 million cracks in the political glass ceiling -- well, unfortunately, if we hear cracks in our profession these days, we hear the sounds of hearts - cracking. Please keep yours whole and well, Judy. Bev
