Post SNM Tour Day #7
The shortest blog of all time. A blast from the past spending time with Don and Cheryl who we have known for quite a number of years since living in Fort Frances Ontario. We had a great meal at the restaurant where their son Steven is the executive chef - it was wonderful. We got a great insider tour of Durham College where Don is the President. It is great to see this college expanding, building and moving in the right direction. I was impressed with the breadth and scope of all the courses offered. Education is such an evolving art and in this age of rapidly changing technology an even more difficult task. Their new classrooms, renos and new structures are great. I will be giving a presentation at the College tomorrow a.m. and hopefully can live up to their standard. Met Chloe (Coco) for the first time, Jessica and Ross' daughter, and took lots and lots of photos.
Tour Day Sponsors are Evan, Camille, Charmaine and Sullivan Strong of Calgary once again - thanks so much for the encouragement and very very generous support.

Teaching should be full of ideas instead of stuffed with facts.
Author Unknown
The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate "apparently ordinary" people to unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying winners: it is in making winners out of ordinary people.
