Hi Jamie,

        All good, I just wanted you to know curious minds were interested in your situation.

Also, I share your education background.  I was a Guidance Counselor for 30 years and have several friends with boarding school teaching backgrounds and a few still in that world. 

I bet students love seeing your van in the parking lot.

Best,

Eric Caron
