John, Great issue. I'm so far behind in keeping up with my email that I'm late reading it. The history of how you've gotten to where you are with "Special Education Today" is fascinating.

I only have one comment, which is not a criticism, just a surprise, I thought you'd have made some reference to Robert Frost in your caption underneath the photo of the path in the woods where you and Pat walk.

And then we had to take trays of the zip-code sorted envelopes to the post office. (I remember having to write a script that printed the mailing labels in zip-code order onto a tractor-fed strip of labels!). And the snow was three-feet deep and it was uphill both directions....
