Hi bigbear,

When one closes a door another one opens a window. I like your end comments on this video. (Especially the eye squinting thing. You have good talent and your passion for food is really a good motivation for your craft. Keep it up. There are lots of windows for you waiting to be discovered. Thanks for sharing.

[mybigbearron]

You're right. And, believe this! Those letters were as much, if not more, about the kids, and, yes, I'm glad to have played a part.

It's always satisfying and heart-warming to know that your efforts have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. At the same time, it's comforting and reassuring to know that you made the mark you wanted to make, and it is time to move on to a new chapter. I wish you all the best, as well.

[mybigbearron]

All will be well. We'll make it so.

Wow, it's hard to believe that they would just do away with the program Ron. It's nice to see that your former students and their parents appreciated your work enough to write those nice letters. Hang in there and know that you made a difference in those young lives! -Jim
