To all of you, thanks for your kind words, this is all very humbling.
ChiefChaos, I love you name! Indeed life is a journey and I'm moving on............
brucie,   "lots" of thanks...
Animaterra, If I ever get things figured out I'll send you what I have. I've been thinking of arranging the song for Orff. If I do I'll send it to you. I do have piano acc. etc. for it but that is all right now.
Walking Eagle - You are right, I can't imagine spending my adult life working at somethng I didn't love!
Sttaw Legend .. I'm still flying hi from the other night but yes the eagle has landed
Allan, I really didn't think they would react the way they have.
open mike... I am really honored to be mentioned in the same sentence as Mr. Holland's Opus. I 'm not that great.   One of my highlights in life has been to attend the opening premere' of the movie, Wow! was that ever a kick!!!
dianavan... I still have the tears when I think about leaving this school but I'm not leaving music, I'll find some kids in Alaska though I don't think I'll sign on for a full time teaching job. Thanks for those words.
kat.. what can I say to you except thanks for it all. You always support my ideas, find my answers to songs and other stuff, and try to keep me up to date on this cumpter thing. I'm proud to call you my sister

I just sent off some music to kat, she is going to try to scan it for all of you. I had to do it in 3 pages because my brother has my directions to Print Music and I couldn't remember how to make more measures. If you can't figure it out let me know, I'll do somethng different. bet
