<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 686520, member: 4350&quot;]I&#039;m all for education.&nbsp; There are some folks on these forums that have learned a phenomenal amount over the last year, year and a half, two years<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; or so.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I read through many threads now that I don&#039;t even comment on.&nbsp; The folks here have gotten to where it is obvious that they picked up a lot of information and are using it well<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I taught music for awhile and I taught different sciences in the past (mostly as a private, freelance teacher)&nbsp; It may sound a little odd,&nbsp; but I did the Jack Hannah and Jeff Corwin type thing for about ten years in PA.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One of my favorite stories has to do with giving several classes at a wildlife sanctuary to a bunch of third graders.&nbsp; Fast forward ten years ...and I see a face walking through the Lehigh Valley Mall in the Allentown, PA area. (The face was attached to legs and a body)...Anyway....This 18 year old kid and I locked eyes and I recognized who he was.&nbsp; He recognized me first and walked over toward me.</p><p><br /></p><p>He was one of the kids in my class from ten years prior.&nbsp; This now young man who was once considered an &quot;underpriviledged child&quot;&nbsp; starts telling me things that I had taught him ten years before.&nbsp; He fully remembered things that I had taught about fungus on rotted logs<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; He reminded me of things we had studied pertaining to ways to determine the quality of streams in eastern PA.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway...he learned.&nbsp; He also told me that because of the classes we had that he was in college studying to become a research biologist<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Why did I march off in that direction?..You might be thinking<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The point is that learning and education in any area of life can lead to many unknown things.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One young man that used to write letters to me with coin questions and to tell me about roll finds,&nbsp; (pre email days),&nbsp; is now an up and coming coin dealer in Michigan.</p><p><br /></p><p>Who knows .&nbsp; Maybe someone here will be the next big error and die variety dealer to emerge in our century<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m happy to be a small part of that.</p><p><br /></p><p>But...you gotta learn it right<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Have Fun,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
