When first I got to Maine, my first year teaching here, I wanted to start a SAT gifted program for 7th graders. These kids had never had a gifted class before that I worked with. We worked at it after school and when ever we had a chance, and one boy who did the program came to me one day after the test and thanked me for coming here and changing his life. He did take his SAT as a seventh grader, received a scholarship, and now is planning to go to law school when he graduates. This is why I teach and continue to do so. The greatest joy is supporting and inspiring a child.
Far and away the best thing that ever happened to me was meeting my wife 35 years ago. We got married 2 years later. She gave me two wonderful daughters and decades of help, thought, love, and happiness.
For us, marriage is life, and life is marriage. Couldn't imagine life without it (or her)!
I'll never forget how proud I was of this country the day we landed on the moon. I was eleven. I haven't felt that way since but I keep hoping someday I will.
Nor'eastah has stolen my thunder, but far and away the best thing that ever happened to me was meeting my wife. I know that it sounds pathetic, but I'd probably be living in a cardboard box if it weren't for her.

AMEN!!! I really feel my wife saved me. I don't know where I would be right now if I had not met, then had the brains to marry her; but, I can assure you I would NOT be in better shape physically, mentally, or spiritually. In all honesty I probably would have drank myself to death by now.
Hmm, marriage is good; college was a big hurdle; our children are great; we volunteered about ten years as foster-parents and those children really needed the help; I have served as Protestant Chaplain onboard a few subs and as assistant pastor in a few small churches when I was in port; and my career's retirement ceremony was a big deal.
"What stands out in my mind as the greatest"?
I would have to say my relationship with my Heavenly Father.
I do understand that to go further into detail would not be appropriate in this forum. So I shall not.
