The volunteer work I've done before and since retirement comes closer to sacred because the pay has been negligible or non-existent. I know you did not write this post in an effort to fish for compliments, so brace yourself because you're about to get a few.<br /><br />The continuing education music courses you teach provide a much-needed service for the community at large, especially for us oldsters. You are all about validation, Pat. The music of our youth buoys us to the top of he world once more. Our bones don't creek as loudly when you're around.
