Dubin, you’re killing me. Why didn’t I know this while I was still teaching American History. “Chances are” students would have remembered these stories the rest of their lives. Great storytelling is the key to learning and you are a great storyteller.
Just reread...saw "Chances Are." In the accumulated weirdness, years later I did a rewrite on a Robert Downey/Cybil Shepard movie called, "Chances Are." What are the chances?
Wow. Just Wow!!! What a fabulous story, and as always, so beautifully written. I was riveted. And thanks Bret Primack for sharing that Billy Taylor link!!! Meanwhile, back to you, Richard. Really? You knew Johnny Mathis???? haha. Loving you today!

Thanks for the kind words. Would've loved to spend time in your classroom. Glad to see you here again.
