41 years in the classroom- - - - -I can't count the number of kids I've presented with that info- - - -and some of them actually got the message! In the past three months, I've encountered at least six of my former students who are working somewhere in the automotive trade, from shop owners down to parts counter guys. One guy from 25 years ago keeps coming back for more! His latest request was for a reference to an employer. He's applying for a job with a speed and machine shop that specializes in offshore powerboat race engines!
