An Old Friend

During my tenure at the U of A in Fayetteville I made several wonderful friends. One of them is Shaila Rao. We lived in the same apartment complex; we suffered statistics together; and we became good friends. Shaila left during my second year at Fayetteville and I've not seen her since. We swap Christmas cards and occasional email, but I've not heard from her in ages.

I have been thinking about her a great deal lately, especially with the Indian Entourage visit yesterday. Well tonight, while grading the first Point of View Paper for my Foundations of Education and Field Experience course, one of my students cited a recent paper by Shaila on inclusion of special education children! How fabulous!

I had to email her! Shaila, I miss you!
