Wow. That is one strong
Wow. That is one strong woman.
I never met either of these
I never met either of these women, but Amy Brace's brother is my neighbor. And I grew up with Elisa Luna's mother and father in McMinnville, although both were several years ahead of me in school. So I feel a bit of a personal connection to them both.
I wish both of these women nothing but the best. What a great example they are for their students.
they deserve a standing ovation...
The morning they both start school again.
