Except for the human animals, a zoo visit requires no captions or explanations. My trip to the zoo today was especially good because I enjoyed a reunion with people I admire and love who are all in the educations business. Alan and Victoria Thomas are visiting from Anchorage with their children Kai and Nikko. Stefan and Vickie Bower live in San Diego with Ellie and Karson. Don Wood lives here, too. After I retired from my old independent school career, I taught with Don, Alan, and Stefan at Gompers Secondary School.
