it's been good to know you. After a total of 18 years I am going to move on up the road to a 3-A high school.
I will miss the hills, and the little main street going through the middle of the town--a town where you really don't have to lock the doors when you leave the house.
In this desert the mesquites are short, and
and the cacs are tall, and vicious;
the agave blooms are 20 feet tall,
and Pepe` greets us when Rita and I walk. I will miss basket ball games in the new gym, and in
the old gym, and shoot I may even miss doing concession stands and proms!
I'll miss seeing the kids on the elementary playground, and

| how could I ever forget the time I spent at Gossett Elementary? |
I will remember the track meets where Roberto threw the shot, and
Rankin High School, where I learned how to teach home economics, special ed., and enjoyed the day to day activities of Roberto and his friends when they were scholars there. It was a magical time in our lives!
There are many special memories about Red Devil Stadium, where Bob and I watched Roberto play some great 11-man football, and the boys put lots of points on the scoreboard (Roberto was named All State his senior year).
Yes, there are many wonderful memories for us at Rankin. I will especially miss my daily walks with Rita (she kept me going when I would have rather done something else) and talked me through some pretty tough stuff. To my prayer partners, Jennifer, Anita, Evelynn, and Jo Beth--keep praying, and say some prayers for me. Paula, I will miss our Emmaus reunion meetings.
We are only 100 miles away from each other, and that is not far at all. So, I will just say--thanks for the wonderful memories! I love each and every one of you who have been a part of our lives. May God bless you, protect you, and make you prosper.
