The last few weeks have been busy and joyful. We celebrated the magic of Little Calhoun last week with a wonderful reunion of teachers and alumni who have passed through our 74th St. Lower School home.

For reasons that are probably obvious, the theme of "goodbyes" has been on my mind lately. While my goodbyes to the Calhoun community are still more than a year away, we have some more immediate goodbyes to face at the end of this school year.

In April 1993, sitting in my shared office in graduate school avoiding the final edits on my dissertation, I downloaded a new piece of software called Mosaic. Like many graduate students, I had begun using the "World Wide Web" for research, which allowed me to tap into new databases of scholarly and news articles.

I can't believe another year is almost in the books. It's been a year of learning, community and growth, for your students and for us all.
