The lovely and serene Martine Leavitt said something that really struck me. She said that books come and go, but mentoring others leaves a lasting legacy. And she should know. A number of Martine's students have gone on to write books of their own, including Matthew Kirby whose book Icefall I recently recommended here.
It provided me with a new way at looking at teaching--a perspective that I needed.
Thank you, Martine!

I am catching up on your blog this morning and saw that you mentioned Icefall not once but twice. I had to do a quick check to see if was at my local library here in beautiful Alaska and IT IS! Hurray. I will check it out this week and read it. I may even put on bug dope and read it outside.
Thanks!
You and Martine and Matt are some of my favorite mentors :). Thanks for your talk at WIFYR today.
