CHEERS to you!

NOTE: Pictured are the FINE PRHS Students cheering their boys on to victory this winter. It seemed appropriate for this post.

The following in an excerpt from an email written to us by David's high school (Lakenheath England) Theatre Teacher:

Guess you folks are all set to begin your "Grand Adventure" in a few days. We have every confidence that you will have a wonderful time both personally and professionally. Feel certain that for the most part you will really enjoy yourselves, Anna as well. It is not ALL going to be perfect all the time and you will probably get depressed, home-sick and frustrated at times and wonder, "What the hell have we done?" But just keep on keeping on and all will be well. Know you have some concerns and maybe even fears (we did way back when we went to Germany the first time), but lean on each other for support and love and all will be well. You will come to LOVE the whole experience. We both just get excited when we talk about it. Keep your blog going and we will enjoy your time there vicariously from here. Have fun!!


Gordy and Sharon Albert have been our role models for years. We truly appreciate their letters and now especially this encouragement.

When I was younger, I couldn't figure out why teachers bothered to keep in touch with former students. Now as a teacher I "get it". There's tremendous satisfaction in following the lives of students (especially the ones you really like) and in feeling that maybe, just maybe, you've contributed to their continued growth.

SO-here's to the Alberts and all other former teachers of ours. May you be proud of us as we carry on the tradition, values, ideals, love of the profession, that you've instilled in us.

And here's to our former students reading this blog. Whether you are in Mexico City, Germany, Africa, Pelican Rapids, Minneapolis, Duluth, Moorhead, Marshall or wherever...know that we are living vicariously through you too! Keep in touch and know that we are PROUD of you.

Although there are those who would frown on this, I think it's appropriate to say (now that we've all graduated)
We Love you!
