Yesterday was a most delightful experience visiting my Granddaughter Erica’s class. I had the good fortune of reading a story to twenty five beautiful wide eyed kindergarten enthusiasts. Their wondrous expressions,giggles and ability to make spontaneous remarks during the reading made it so enjoyable for me. However, at one point the realization of what happened to children of similar ages at Newtown made me keenly aware that we must do all in our power to protect these wonderful treasures in every classroom.It is not maudlin to remember that event even when enjoying the precious moments that are such a vital part of our lives.
