All the more powerful to think of how a moment in time goes down in an infinite number of ways. Maybe let's be in touch. Kenlevit@gmail.com hug to Patty too.

But, when I think about it, not really. Even back then, I knew you were all sensational. I just had to learn when to hold your feet to the fire and when to look the other way. How lucky I was to be challenged by each of you.

Amazing what lingers, and much has lingered for me, not all of it easy to look back on. I am so glad that you and my sister Patty worked together on Capitol Hill. She really liked you and her very positive experience at HH helped me see another side of the place. My students now, so different; they are trans and queer and black and white and so able to talk and reflect. Their courage astounds me. I wish I was that brave at that age. Yes, Karen was amazing on so many levels. I learned much and gained much by her presence, grace and style. An amazing woman. x Bill Webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772228597936781328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372508285068401224.post-60307986726230764122016-11-16T08:10:46.332-06:002016-11-16T08:10:46.332-06:00If I was any good at all, it was because great stu...If I was any good at all, it was because great students like you and Ken were never afraid to challenge me. At every turn, you forced me to be better.

Most likely we knew some of the same teachers there, too. But I'd agree with you that Karen may well have been the best. --Charlie MorrowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372508285068401224.post-4595492403038317452016-11-15T09:09:51.410-06:002016-11-15T09:09:51.410-06:00Although I wasn't always sure of it at the tim...Although I wasn't always sure of it at the time, I see now that this school was the best possible place for me.

We're so wrapped up in ourselves, discovering ourselves, that it's challenging to feel empathy for others. I, too, am thankful for teachers like Ms. Clark who remain inside their students' heads and hearts long after the classroom door closes.Vicki Palmquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11637004946682140984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372508285068401224.post-91391094695361508522016-11-15T08:06:58.056-06:002016-11-15T08:06:58.056-06:00This doesn't happen often, but I don't kno...This doesn't happen often, but I don't know what to say except thank you.Karen Henry Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14418652258921381993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372508285068401224.post-5877722300458074952016-11-14T15:05:30.180-06:002016-11-14T15:05:30.180-06:00Ken--Loved reading about some of your experiences ...Ken--Loved reading about some of your experiences at HH and with KHC. Was there ever a kinder, gentler person to show us a good way to live and treat people? Your image of her standing with her head in the corner was such an impactful way to teach us. We are certainly better for it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09273231882540537655noreply@blogger.com
