One could voice any opinion at all so long as it wasn't nasty and a student could back it up with at least one fact.<br /><br />Thanks to most of the rest for the kind words and advice. I'll be walking some new roads from June onward. Some will diverge and I'll probably choose the one less traveled by as Frost advised.<br /><br />You may be assured that I won't be sitting home waiting for my heart attack.Tom McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691546351143209227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-39125865483660739892011-04-29T10:27:38.013-04:002011-04-29T10:27:38.013-04:00Best Tom!
