Happy Birthday to My Best Friend, My Wife, Bonnie!

Happy Birthday Bonnie! Today is my wife's birthday! She's my best friend, without any question my better half and my partner in all the good things I do!

Bonnie has been a teacher since 1982, teaching on Block Island for 5 years before coming to Maine and teaching at Nokomis since 1987. She has had an enormous influence on thousands of students, and has taught 2 generations at Nokomis. Teachers are one of the most influential professions and yet one of the most under-appreciated! Anyone who thinks that teachers just work 8-3, Monday-Friday should spend a week with Bonnie!

In addition to being a fantastic teacher, she's even a better mother and wife. She's raised two fantastic boys, Craig and Collin. She supports me in all my endeavors, even when they're crazy, like agreeing to broadcast in excess of 55 basketball games in the winter!

We have been married for almost 25 years, this June, and I look forward to celebrating many, many more birthdays and years with you as we grow old together!

Happy Birthday!
