Hello

Is it possible to become addicted to a group of high school students?

Maybe it's because I don't have teenagers of my own.

Whatever the reason, knowing that you all were in San Francisco and that I might be seeing you made me distracted and agitated. I found myself having ahard time going about my business and wanting to be with you.

The weather was so unusually beautiful I began to wonder if you all didn't have something to do with it.

I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to spend time with young, open, curious minds. It feeds me in so many ways. Thank you. I am also grateful that the folks from Belo offered such a magical, well structured and professionallyconducted program.

I will miss the students and hope you were all seduced by the magic of San Francisco enough that you will come back and visit.

With a warm hug,
