Twenty-seven years ago a brand-new professor arrived on my undergraduate campus to teach journalism and serve as advisor to the college newspaper; since I was the editor, we spent a lot of time together, and since she was just 10 years older than I was, we hit it off pretty well. I learned an awful lot from her, and now her daughter is learning an awful lot from my daughter. That's right: my daughter served as student-teacher for a class including the daughter of my former teacher and mentor.
I guess this means that we're all getting older, but it's nice to know that the gift of teaching keeps on giving.
