Dear Colleagues, Being a senior member of the profession, I have been friended on Face Book by a couple of hundred of former students. They are kids I worked with in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s-and, yes, including the present. I have not trawled for one of them; they all found me. I am honored when these older friends want to share their lives/careers/family news, etc., with me. Occasionally, I have received comments via Face Book from my former students telling me how I had taught them something they perceive as valuable, and/or instilled the joy of reading. (Just as many express similar comments about my wife's impact, as their former art teacher.) Sometimes these comments come from the students I least would have expected. And it is no great effort to "monitor" my postings. IMHO, FB is Highly Recommended. I just finished Dodger and Me, by Jordan Sonnenblick (not one of his best, IMHO) to get in the mood for the 2009 baseball season. Currently reading Carlos is gonna get it, by Emerson.
