The motto of teacher Christa McAuliffe, who died in the Challenger
explosion in 1986, was "I touch the future -- I teach." My parents
are/were both teachers: Dad is a tenured Professor of Chemistry at
Washington University in St. Louis, and Mom was a home-teacher for
our local Special School District for homebound students. If I had
been forced to stay home from school due to severe injury, pregnancy,
or other reason, I might well have had her as my teacher. How ironic
that would have been.

Perhaps my overwhelming curiousity and love of reading is due to them.
