hehehehe thanks bettye, yeah I'm kind of used to getting grossly underpaid for teaching, I teach some spiritual classes now, and I reigned hell down on my old teachers, so I deserve what's coming. ;) But you always remember the teachers who really helped you. My ancestors, the ones I could find, are a rather amusing mix of tyrants, criminals, governmental leaders, pirates, and union and confederate soldiers. It's all two sides of the same coin really. ;) ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Bettye Woodhull" <betron1@sbcglobal.net> Reply-To: CHEROKEE-L@rootsweb.com To: CHEROKEE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [Cherokee Circle] No Indians in KY Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2006 13:31:04 -0600 May I offer you congratulations on your chosen profession - it is an honorable one - you will be grossly underpaid for the hours you put in and the services you perform. However, there are some things that we must value more than money; a nutrured mind for instance. When you have taught that first year, and marvel at what you accomplished, know that you will be rewarded - it is a great appreciation that I honored in mentioning my "old History teacher". My ancestors that I attempt to trace have managed to provide several doctors, and a whole bunch of teachers!, including my older brother who coached and was also a principal in later years. My youngest son is a dept. chairman at a community college and his wife is preparing to be a Jr. High principal. My gr.gr. gandmother signed with an X for land in the 1800's, but I have recently located 3 grgr.granddaughters from her second marriage and discovered they too are teachers. I wish you a lifetime of happy teaching, and beg of you - rule with a gentle voice! Remember that sugar catches a lot more flies!
