2021, June 7: I had you for EDU 101!

 My colleague, GO, and I are traveling all over Maine to visit makerspaces. (When you have an awesome project with a great colleague and you get to go visit amazing teachers doing fabulous things, it’s hard to call it “work.”) We were in AL's classroom at Casco Bay High School learning about the amazing work she does there, when a young man in his late 20's appeared in the doorway and started to talk to AL. Then he interrupted himself and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't realize you had company. I can come back later." Then he looked right at me and said, "I had you for EDU 101 at UMF!" It's been 12 years since I had SL in that class. I can't believe he recognized me...and behind a mask no less...and that he remembered that he had me and even remembered the course number! He's been at CBHS for 8 years but is moving to Colorado in a few weeks. How awesome that I got to reunite with him before he moved away (and that I can connect him with some people near where he's moving).
