but I don't speak to losers like her. I am so happy for all the wonderful things that happened because of your Oregon State Teacher of the Year Award. I know it was hard to talk about but thank you for sharing what happened to you and the mindless, ignorant beings that did that to you. Not one of those folks should have ever had a job in a school or any where near children. I like to back winners and you and your handsome Husband are definite winners and I wish you endless good luck but mostly happiness and love
