Lucy, this a wonderful description of your work and of your students’ dedication. Shame on the govt. it is easy to call congress people and they count the calls. Thank you!

You are the reason I remain optimistic in these terrible times. You will keep on going in whatever way you can, and when we wake up from this ongoing nightmare, you will be there!

Lucy, you are a marvel. It is so hard to write about things that are so close to you. You explained why teaching is such a miracle. You never can prepare for it until you meet your students and they surprise you and together you create something you never knew was there. Love you!

Dear Lucy, your piece aroused my the fury at DOGE, Trump and the state of our country so many feel, but it also provides motivation to overcome deadening sense of hopelessness take action. I’ll write my congresspersons
