Thank you for teaching history! 30 years is an amazing contribution. I wish your students could come and visit with you. Im sure it would be amazing and good for the soul! Thank you for your service and standing up for what is right and good. Being on the streets with peaceful people trying to bring change is a great feeling. Theres nothing else like it. Thank you for all of it. I hope you still have things that bring joy. As hopeless as it all feels its gonna be the small things that get us through. Peace and love to you. 💗💗🙏🏼💐
