Wow. What a feisty mama. Rose Gilbert, 88, is probably one of the oldest teaching teachers in the US (and most likely one of the richest - her husband left her millions), and she's stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllll going.
I think my favorite anecdote from the article describes "Mama G" (as her students lovingly call her) teaching about Freudian slips while wearing a slip over her clothes. I doubt anyone sleeps in her class!
You know, the news breaks my heart. War, gore, sickness, sadness. Don't get me wrong. I don't have my head in the sand or my bum tuber-like on the couch watching the latest daytime drivel. I do know what's going on in the world. But an ancient Scripture (translated into modern English) says, "Your marvelous doings are headline news; I could write a book full of the details of your greatness." So that's what I'm doing. Online. In this blog. Extra, extra, read all about it!
