I am already in love with my classes, barely a week into the term. To my great delight, I have in each of them bright, engaged, committed minds who seek to challenge me and each other in the intellectual fencing match that can have no loser.
It is exhilarating to be in the same room with these students, caught up in the vibrant energy stream of their youthful exhuberance, of their existential certainty.
I know I will learn a lot from them and that makes me smile. I can't wait for the little pearls of wisdom my students always leave with me!

Hello Professor Joe,
You may not remember me but I was thinking of you today for some reason. I was in several of your classes in (I believe) 2001... I just wanted to say you made my years at Brock worth it. I looked forward to every single one of your classes, so much that I jammed them all into one year. A regrettable decision as I did as I had nothing to look forward to after that year was up. I loved every minute of your classes and would have stayed long past the end of each one. I also appreciated when you took the time to stop and talk to me in the mall or grocery store, even though you were no longer my professor. I just wanted you to know that!

Jody, Of course I remember you! Didn't you do the Santa as Meme paper for me in 2P90? I recall you in one of the first 3P90 classes when the course was brand new -- can't recall what your persona name was in the MOO but we did have fun that year. Our paths crossed again at the passport office and then I met you and your mother at the Pen, I believe.
I am so pleased that you remember those classes and I thank you for your very kind words.
