If I had a regret, it is that I didn't "bite the financial bullet" and teach at the middle school level.
I teach a class or two at the college level most semesters, but that's not the same as being as influential as you career folks have been.
I have a new friend, Angela, who teaches challenged kids and runs a self funded (I help a little) guitar club.
Much respect and appreciation to ALL of you.
