An article in the
Washington Post is reporting on a teacher in Maryland who has dedicated the last sixty years of his life to educating others. This article won't make the front page. Many readers will never even bother to look at it. But this is what it is all about.
The article focuses on one man, but this man lives in every community. He is a man who loves to share what he knows with others. He is a man who, even though he is old enough to enjoy his retirement, chooses to serve others through his vocation. He is valued, loved, respected, and admired.
What an example he is and others like him are to all of us! That we may be so dedicated and devoted to what we do. That we may do it with as much vigor and selflessness. That we may generously give of ourselves until there is nothing left to give. This is what it means to teach.
