Young Teacher

I came across these old pictures today, taken in 1993 when I was teaching knitting and quilting in summer school for the Morris School District.  Even though I started teaching late, I think I was more of a kid then than some of my students.   I wonder where they are now.  Some must have kids of their own.  Some might have died tragically.  I probably will never know having moved out of the area.  Maybe that's a blessing because I can ignore the fact that if they are grown up then I must be pretty old.   Fortunately my art classes are letting me have some fun again.  If I'm having fun the kids feel more like having fun.
