Keeping in touch...

Just when I'm feeling "out of it", two former students email me today with their news and to say hello. They have become my good friends since they were my students. It is nice to hear how they are doing in their jobs and it is nice that we keep in touch. That is what I loved about my professors at Albion College. I still exchange Christmas cards with them (the ones that are still living-two have since died). I have always treasured those relationships. I guess I am carrying that tradition on, in a new e-mail sort of way.
