This was sent to Gary by a colleague after his last lecture, May 9th.

Gary,

Thanks for inviting me to your "Last Lecture." It was a powerful experience and I was honored to be included.Your students were so engaged. I could not help but watch them and the focus that they had. I will confess to being a bit jealous as my students tend to fall asleep any time I get near "life lessons." I don't think I am as funny as you are. Anyway, I walked behind several of them after class and they were chatting about their own stories around school, how they've gotten to where they are, and where they are going next. So in case you were wondering, they were listening. And so was I.So now that school is almost over, let me know when you want to go walking. In the meantime, I have begun riding my bike. I am not very good, and, I must say the seat is downright painful at this point. I'll let you know when I get up to a few miles and am ready to take the lake path on, maybe by the time you are back from Cancun.Take care,Cynthia
