He wrote in his email to me "The winning essay, "Recovering Teacher," was the most compelling, thought provoking, and human of the bunch. Both characters, the narrator and the teacher she's writing about, are fully realized, dimensional human beings. On one level, it's a personal essay about teaching and about a maverick teacher. But it's also a meditation on larger human subjects." (He will write something fuller for me to read at the award ceremony.) If you by chance are going to be at the upcoming CCCC convention in Louisville, you can hear your praises there and receive your check for $500.00. If you can't be there, please give me your address, and I will mail you your well-deserved check.<br><br>Warmly,<br><br>John Boe<br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></div></blockquote></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
