I am proud to be a teacher.  It was my profession and has become my calling in life.  I taught when a Remington Selectric Typewriter was high tech and I helped usher in computers, tablets and wireless.  I thought I had seen it all but my heart bleeds and my spirits soar for teachers in the age of "Hybrid Learning".

This episode is full of Joy, Discovery and  Memories.  Christmas in the 1950's was a time of real trees, special friends and surprise visits. It is my great pleasure to offer this story in the hope that it helps you recall a simpler time of innocence and childhood. Merry Christmas, my friends.
