15. Thank you, my Friend!

I'm glad that you liked it. You know, Rubin used to say to me: really smart people learn from others' mistakes; most of us must learn from our own; and fools .... well, they just don't learn at all. And so a very important part of my work now, is to try to teach other folks the proper approach to a given situation .... because we simply do not have the luxury of spare time to make mistakes at this point.

One of my favorite parts of the entire event came two days later .... when I attended a high school track meet, at our school. Those students who had come along with my daughters came over between their races, and talked to me about their impressions from Monday. They picked up on both the positives and negatives of the day. Knowing that there are really smart young folks, ready and able to carry on the Good Fight, does this old man good!

Also, teachers and parents and other community members, all aware of Monday's event, spoke of their impressions of the event. Word has spread mighty quickly! I like that. I like it a lot.
