I met someone this evening who probably does not know how much she impacted me in such a short time. The Principal's Partnership is an organization that supports principals across much of the nation. This evening, I was invited by the Principal's Partnership to participate in a dinner for principals in southeast Idaho. The team leader, Glady Nienstaedt, had asked her friend, Jeanette Phillips, from Polson MT, to come down to our country to speak. Her informal presentation was a delight to listen to and the time went quickly. I had the priviledge to visit with her after the meeting. I was flattered she was interested in the work I do, and our conversation, though brief, had a huge impact on me. The connections one makes are hard to fathom. Words can have such an impact. She left me with a Margaret Mead quote, " Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
I can do this! Thanks Jeanette!

What are you talking about with Kenny. Do you know him?....the family? Are you looking for admiration or glory posting things like this?
I have not mentioned anyone named Kenny. As for your question as to why I am doing this, I am attempting to raise the level of awareness as to the impact FASD is having on our entire society.
