11. That is one of the saddest things

I have ever read. I am so sorry for you but then the kids. There is little to be gained that way, pool tables? TV's for entertainment? What a loss and the thought that they would just callously throw so many books away and allowing some to be burned? Wow. I am sorry. That must have hurt you all the way through your soul.

I am so glad that there are former students who tell you that. That is a major solace at least. Thank you from me all the way down here in Kansas.
