My best high school teacher, who taught journalism and creative writing, inspired me to be a teacher. We’ve been in touch over the years, and now she is 90 and living in a transitional care center. I have been sending her little things in the mail to cheer her up.

I want to make her a card that’s like the old signs all the fishermen had in Idaho where I grew up. “Old fishermen never die, they just smell like it.” But for teachers. Any ideas?
