Thanks Everyone -
Your kind words are much appreciated.
I told this little story to GeekGirl yesterday evening: My daughter had a reading "mentor" when she was in third grade = who had an amazingly positive influence (my daughter completed a perfect score on the state tests later that year). It'd be nice if I could have the same effect!
I suppose I should have added a little mention that my daughter also got her first set of eyeglasses that year!
So, sometimes it's a matter of timing and luck, along with patience and a good sense of humor . . .

So I want to thank all of you, too: it's a collective effort that makes the forums work so well = the more heads put together on a puzzle: the better!
See you around the forums:
