Default Re: Unique retirement Gift for an educator

What a lovely story--congratulations--and have a great retirement!!! Reminds me of friends of ours, a couple who taught in the same district for nearly 40 years (she had taken a couple of years off for maternity leave; he taught literally in the same classroom for all those years). Her high school principal had been a student of hers many years before; it made it easy for her to go into his office and say 'Now Billy, you know what I need for my classroom this year!' What finally assured their retirement was one of them getting as a student the grandchild of one of the first students (as well as a good buyout)! And if the world isn't small enough, we went to a regional club meeting in TV and met people who had worked with them in that school district!
