I have one report card saved from childhood and it is from Mrs. Kirchmayer's class in Dobie. The sun rose and set on our Grade 1 teacher. I wonder if she had any idea how many of her students loved her. I wish I could tell her that I also work with children and I always hope I send them home feeling as happy as Mrs. Kirchmayer did.
