When children are asking for loveWritten by Don Schmitz
Continued from page 1
Dan continued to be most difficult child I ever taught and demanded constant attention throughout year, but from that day on, I always knew when I could get Dan to smile his gorgeous smile, everything was right with world. Many years later, Dan came back to visit me at school. He was dressed in his U. S. Navy uniform wearing his beautiful smiles. I asked Dan to speak to students and his smile and his uniform immediately captured their attention. He told them how much Mr. Schmitz had meant to him and how much I had positively affected his life. It was best thank you I have ever received.

Continued from page 1 This past month, I enjoyed opportunity of getting together with two of my son's, two of my brothers, four of my cousins, my father and friends on a trip to Lake Milac, MN. We spent day on a launch, caught two fish and had a wonderful time catching up on life experiences. Summer is not over. There is still time for you to "Bring Generations Together." Make plans now! If you have read or personally experienced benefits of spending time with children, we would love to hear your story.
