Nick is a born teacher. He thought he'd give the private sector a whirl, but found it wasn't for him. So he's gone back to the Air Force Academy. We will miss having him here with us. Especially the little ones, who love his stories. Jake told me the other day that he would have to be the storyteller now that Nick was leaving, and he immediately started with, "once upon a time..." It was a pretty good story. He learned from a very good teacher. Nick's students are lucky to have him.

Great photos!
It is so true. Some people give out information and pass it along to others. Others, engage the mind and occupy the spaces that are otherwise spent daydreaming. Earl is also a natural teacher. His students love him and so do the parents...simply because their children love him and therefore love chemistry, biology, physics and math! I'm sure if Nick loves teaching, he is a great teacher. When you love it, you are normally good at it!
