Knew Appreciation was Important

If you're going to run, run with Thorobreds. Your dad was definitely one. He knew how to value people and their contributions to education and Forest Hills. I recall two times with the best of memories and feelings. I made a video about teaching writing and he came to watch it. He sat in the back of the room and gave me a thumbs up at the conclusion. Left without a word. Another time there were rumblings about Reading Recovery going by the way side. I was asked to speak for the effort to the school board. Your dad was there, of course. He shook my hand afterwards. I seriously miss his big heart and love of the educational cause. Dr. Jill Dillard
