And thank you for being a teacher. There are 2 professions that get my undying admiration; nurses and teachers. And neither get much respect, but know this, I love you.

Edited to add: Pete was a teacher as well. He couldn't get work and so turned to giving workshops and concerts for children. The same people who tried to silence him thought he could do no "harm" with kids. How stupid of them.
