Dr. Pope,
I used to train college students studying to become special ed. teachers. The first hand-out I would give them was the “starfish” poem. I would tell them never to underestimate the profound effect they could have on each and every one of the students that would cross their path. I know it was not chance that led me to you. And I just wanted to say thank you for not making me feel like an “over-the-hill” crazy lady!
