I have a twinge of conscience, right now. Having taught all my life in public school and ten years in private school, I think I know now what education is all about. I realize that in the heyday of Catholic Education, I had, because of the sisters and brothers, the best public or private education available in the most advanced nation in the world at a cost to my parents of $5.00 a month (I have two brothers).
What am I doing for payback? There are a few charities available like the American Indian schools, but my pension is not built for a philanthropist. I look to the Father who provided for me so munificently, and at the very least, every day I say thank you.
