I always enjoy your interviews, Steve , but this one was a special one for me. Hi, Andrea! Andrea and I worked together for a long time at BH. The best times with Andrea were the years when she and I were part of the chaperone team on the 8th grade Washington DC trips (led by the amazing John and Donna Pittman!). I have always admired Andrea's sparkle. She has a wonderful positive spirit infused with deep compassion for all. It was a privilege to work with her. Families who experience her as a teacher are so very fortunate. (Gracie= aka JT O'Neill)

What an absolutely delightful article! As a retired middle school teacher, I certainly can relate to much of what Andrea said. Great writing, also! I truly think Andrea should write an autobiography when time allots.

Excellent interview. I appreciated the in depth look at what appears to be a remarkable teacher.
