A strung-together clip of photos my husband, Peter, took of his students of this year's class, his 35th group of children, after being a full-time elementary school teacher for his life-mission. He prefers to think of teaching as his vocation, based on the Latin word for "calling". The unspoken conclusion is that he will never quit his vocation, that is, until his mission and so, his life, is complete and his heart full. If my descriptions sound extravagant to you, well, they're sincere and based on fact or sentiments shared by hundred of colleagues and several thousands of students -- on all of whom he's left his indelible mark.
