I have come to appreciate your keen social/political insights which you express so clearly and succinctly. You are a life-long learner who willingly shares his gift with others.<br /><br />In reading the post about your 8th grade experience, I would disagree with one point. You HAVE found a job in politics. Keep up the good work!<br /><br />John McCormick, Principal<br />Bennett-Shedd School, 1984-1995 John Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11076885770542049874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479772712285978416.post-41908104183213405252016-12-28T17:20:57.542-06:002016-12-28T17:20:57.542-06:00I went to Shedd from kindergarten 68 to 74.
