    brightly woven, John!
    
    I shall miss you.  But I know the children of this world are inwardly
    applauding your decision!
    
    best of luck to you and yours (and theirs)

    John, I'm so happy I was able to meet you at the =wn= party, 
    and to watch your juggling talents, and to communicate with
    you off-line, and to revel in the bright energy you radiate.
    
    All those lucky children . . . wishing you the *very* best!
    
    Love,
    
    Carla
    

    I think it's safe to say this file will miss you, too, John.
    Good luck, not that I think you'll need too much.
    
    keep in touch

    Good luck John, in all your future endeavors. Maybe you'll have my
    grandchildren in a class some day. If so, I'll have to have them make
    you juggle. I didn't get to meet you at tyhe -wn- party, but I saw you
    perform. Your talents are wonderful and your caring soul just adds to
    it all. You will be and are a great teacher, just by your actions.
    Again good luck and bless you in all future endeavors.

    I don't know you John, but, all the same, best of luck.

    I admire your courage in changing your career direction, John -
    that takes a lot of strength and self-knowing.
    I'll miss you.
    Be happy.

...it sounds to me like you're following your bliss, john.  :-)  May happiness
walk arm in arm with you throughout your journeyings.  I'll miss your voice
here.

    Sounds like you're moving into doing_what_you_really_want_to_do.
     
    The fact that your choice is teaching means tomorrows' students will
    probably benifit from *wn* (whether or not you realize it).
     
     Best wishes,,and make sure you carry along some of the warmth,
    compassion,and yeah,,even the arguments from here,,your students
    will be the better for it.
    
    
      Doug  (I feel like I know *all* of you,,even though I'm kinda
    isolated down here in Hotlanta)
                                     

    re. O
    
    I'm truly impressed, John.  Certainly you'll be missed around and
    about.
    
    I probably shouldn't say this, but ... oh hecky-darn ...
    
    When I read your note, I immediately flashed on a vision of you sitting
    in front of a room full of 7-year-olds, playing a guitar, and leading a
    rousing chorus of "it's only a wee-wee" ...
    
    Best regards,
      Annie

This is probably one of the better things to happen to el-ed. You can teach them
how to juggle both balls and computers! Best of luck and don't forget the BITNET
liesl

p.s. I've made a radical career change before, its scary but also very exciting.
(and you'll get summers off!)

    My mom's youngest brother went thru teaching school on a program
    where, in return for tuition, he agreed to work in an inner-city
    school for a certain time. That was over 20 years ago. He's still
    commuting 80+ miles a day to teach in the same school. *Teachers
    who love their work* are the future to a lot of kids who have a
    hard time seeing past the moment. My hat is off to them all.

    John,
    
    It sounds like a heaven for you.  I think it will be wonderful for you,
    your career, your life, and all the kids who will be taught by you.
    When you're a kid, a good adult is a blessing.

Hey John.  Sorry to see you go, but I certainly give
you credit for having the courage of your convictions!

Best of luck to you.

By the way- in case you didn't know it- Laurie Fairbanks left DEC
in June on the Engineering to Education Program.  She's starting
classes this fall).

    
    John--
    
    Good luck also, and remember, the good teachers make an impression on
    their students that last a lifetime.
    
    Go forth and make good impressions!!

    I'll miss your notes, John.
    

    I'll miss you, too, John. Those lucky kids!

Bye John.

Love your life, live your dream.

	Stay happy.

    Just in case you're still catching up here before you go...
    I'll miss the calming tone of your notes. Very best of luck!
