I hope that her retirement from teaching is just the start of something greater. Although I disagreed with her 99% of the time in school, she opened my eyes to a much bigger picture. Thanks for the memories and heated debates!
We want to say a huge thank you to KKO for your wisdom in dealing with our kids! You inspired them, and they respected you. So, thank you, KKO, for giving of yourself for our sons! You were a tremendous influence on them, and we believe you are part of the reason they have dared to dream big! Barb & Steve Backstrom
