I'm starting to settle into the schedule in San Antonio while learning every day and I'm loving it. Just being able to focus on work is actually a lot less stressful than dealing with school as well even though I will be taking summer courses starting next week. For this weeks images, I'm starting with a dedicated educator who is laying down his calculator after 50 years of teaching at Alamo Heights High School. It's always great to meet someone who genuinely enjoys the work he does every day. Then we have the last living member of an 18 man dive-bomber squadron from the Battle of Midway who was being honored for his service at this past week's Memorial Day activities. I was honored to meet each one of these men for their services to the community and our country. Until next week, enjoy.
