Teachers and Friends

In re-uploading my ‘Teachers and Friends” links, I am struck by how many teachers and friends I have.  No complaints there; in fact I feel quite blessed.

But how can I list them without making it look like a phone book?  (The first person who says “Facebook Friends” is really gonna get it)

I may just spend some time telling you about them, and what I learned from each.

So, until I figure that out here’s the phone book, in somewhat chronological order of tutelage.
