Last night, I met Cheryl Pashke - - - The "Phyllis Staplin" of the Minneapolis Public Schools . . . INCREDIBLE!!! Whoda thunk there'd be TWO of them doing exactly the same job 300 miles apart?!?!? Even their husbands are alike!!! (Spooky!) Of course, we had a FABULOUS (I kid you not) conversation about string teaching, and then she did some general encoragement and cheerleading TOO FUNNY!!! (but it's nice to have a personal general cheerleader around!!)
