Thanks, Ed.  I did teach for several years at the local university, 
but when they tore out the darkrooms and then discovered they didn't 
have enough money to buy the computers and software for lightrooms 
but still wanted me to teach photography, I said no. Also, you can't 
travel for 10 months of the year if you teach at the university 
;-)  I will be doing two talks at the Leica Seminar in Rockport, but 
I'd have to do a lot more to make it a worthwhile venture. 
Besides,  I'm not sure speaking is my forte ;-)   I'd rather hide 
behind the camera and be invisible.  I currently do talks at schools, 
assisted living, day cares, and churches and, even after I've been 
doing it for many, many years, I still get so nervous that I can 
barely talk and my knees knock together!  I was one of those kids who 
would always get sick on the day I was supposed to give an oral book 
report!  I greatly admire anybody who can get up in front of people 
and talk without being nervous - like Ted!  Maybe I should take a 
course in public speaking :-(

Somebody else suggested off-line that I figure out what I liked best 
and least about my former career, and what I liked least - by far - 
was public speaking.

Thanks for your confidence in me, though.  I just don't have enough in 
myself!

Tina
