    Hi, Everyone.
    I ran across you all after finding out your address at the recent OAEA
    conference in Columbus, OH. I actually started teaching in '73, left
    teaching to get married, raise kids, lived in PA for 24 years, did a
    number of art related and not so art related jobs, and just this summer
    moved back to Ohio and found an elementary art position. It's exciting
    to be out of administration and back into the classroom again, but I
    feel like a brand new teacher; it is much more painful this time around
    at my present age! Like your friend, Bunkie, "I remember dittos!" Any
    help or hints you can pass my way, when you have a free moment, would be
    deeply appreciated. If you are like me, I feel like I eat, breathe, and
    sleep elementary art! Free moments are far and few between. I often ask
    myself "What am I doing wrong that all the other teachers go home at a
    reasonable hour and I'm still hanging displays or getting materials
    together for the next day?" I amazed by just reading your e-mails at
    how knowledgeable, talented and "together" you all sound Where do you
    get your energy? This is something new for me to chat with an entire
    group of strangers, but you are a pretty impressive group, one that I
    would like to get to know better. Thanks in advance for your insight
    and help.
    Sandy
